HummingBird Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Not sure if it is or not, but I wouldn't think so since it isn't mentioned in the recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Cool then.. a small well labelled glass jar in a sealed plastic bag, in the fridge to safely contain any chance of spillage!! Thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I've heard it's best to keep the mix in a cool dark place. But I also don't know if it's light sensitive. I know that iron is not very stable in a liquid form though so it's best to add PMDD daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I'm just making up a nitrate only mix (well.. potassium and nitrate unavoidably!) My nitrates are dropping too low and I got a severe case of BGA last time!! I'm still planning on using JBL ferropol for trace/iron. I currently do half doses of ferropol but do them twice a week. The label claims there's something they use to help keep the iron in a useable form. It's working though cause I has some very yellow new growth at one stage and it's all greened up nicely Hence the need now for Nitrate (I last measured it a couple of hours after my last water change and it was 5.. my tap water is 10 and I changed about 40% so had to be pretty low before that.. I've also since added a heap of plants! Yay!) Seriously though.. someone should look at selling 'dosing kits'. Buying stuff in medium sizes and then splitting it up an onselling it with instructions and ratios. OR maybe even HaNs suggested... mixing it and selling it ready-to-go.

HummingBird Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Have you considered stocking more to get your nitrate up? Freshwest bought quite a bunch of PMDD ingredients a while ago (as he described it "more than I could use in a lifetime") and was distributing it, that's where I got mine. Haven't seen him on here for a while though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 No room! I own one measly 30L tank! Working on acquiring tank #2. I've got a whole 6 WCMM's and just added 3 jordanellas in there and already they seem to get in each others way I could have fewer plants!! :-? (uhhhhh... no!!)
