MACRO
N, P, K
Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium - the macronutrients.
• 500 ml of distilled water
• 61 g (10.69 teaspoons, 3.63 tablespoons) Potassium nitrate (KNO3)
• 5.2 g (1 teaspoons) Potassium monophosphate (KP04)
• 10.8 g (2 teaspoons) Magnesium sulphate (MgSO4)
• 1.8 g (0.3 or 1/3 teaspoon) Potassium sulphate (KSO4)
Do we need trace elements or not
This has mainly macros ... Trace elements are still needed .. CSM B+ will be a good option .. or Ferrous Gluconate .. as Iron source
Hi Vikram,
I have a tank whose dimension is 48"*15*18"(h). I have crypts, e tennelus, vallisnarea, and cobamba. my light is as per 2W/gallon. I am using pressurized co2 setup with 3 bubbles per second.

Micro fertilizers are expensive. Most the Indian Micro fertilizers do not work well. So go for CSM B or any other brand specially formulated for aquariums.
Macros are low price and you can buy from Delhi.
