Product Information

TNC Complete is a ready mixed fertiliser for the planted aquarium, containinga balanced blend of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium as well as Magnesium and all the important trace elements for a great growth. Dose 10 ml per 100 litres of tank per week and increase the dosing when necessary up to three times a week. The price match offer is just valid for UK deliveries. We reserve the right to refuse a price match request. If you test the potassium and iron coming out of the tap and in your tank at different points in the day, it should give you a rough idea of how much fertiliser you need to add. Nitrate testing is quite hard to do, so see if your water company has any info, or if you want to you could buy a more accurate test kit (I haven't done this) https://www.aquasabi.com/Macherey-Nagel-Visocolor-ECO-Nitrate-Test-kit So I've just installed a Twinstar 1200s 3 days ago. And its nice having the ability to ramp up and ramp down the intensity of it.

The other tank is more like a paludarium setup with a load of emersed growing plants, this is the only one that gets a fert dose after each water change. We want you to be fully happy with your new macroalgae addition. Therefore we offer you a hassle free Satisfaction Guarantee. So having Fe in abundance (assuming no other deficiency's) the plants will be a the colour they should be if it is red or green will be plant dependant, adding extra Fe will not make them redder. Is it possible that my plants are deficient in PO₄³⁻ or K? When I do water changes, I use about 10 litres of rainwater with 2 litres of tapwater to get the softness I want, so I’m not getting much contribution from the tap.

Anyway, if you determine the compound (N,P,K, Fe, Mg) that's lowest in your water- it may well be potassium, then dose the amount you need to get to a good level of potassium for a few hours each day (it will go as/ if the plants use it) . I buy salts from allover the place. You can usually buy reasonable amounts (10 or 20kg) of KNO3 from salt curing companies. I do. You can buy several hundred kilograms or even tonnes of all of these fertilisers at very little cost from agricultural suppliers and fertiliser companies, and 60kg or 100kg bag of chelated trace elements will last quite a while. The thing about traces is that they are all slightly different - so you are going to have to think about what constituents you really want. Over the years various ratios have been suggested and that may influence what you choose to mix (e.g. P:Zn, Ca:Mg, Fe:Mn). Some are disputed - little research has ever been done for specific aquarium plants. I'm currently having low tech setups only and dose dry salts directly into the aquarium after a water change... For me, it's pretty simple i use a calculator to find the correct amounts of dry salts to reach the proper PPM value. Then i have a 0.01 pharmacy (jewellers) weight scale and a scoop.

So, taking an imaginary tank of 1,000 litres (i.e. 1,000,000 grammes), the 3x dosage of TNC complete would be 300ml weekly. Therefore our dosage contains the following:

According to Rotala Butterfly, it agrees with what several of you have said, that I should indeed be dosing 2ml or even 3ml a day of TNC Complete. I think it suggests 2.5ml a day. The spectrum of your light output can make the tank look better also, much of this is down to what the user likes, but ADA Solar RGB really make the reds pop - seeing is believing. I’m beginning to point the finger at fertilisation. I’ve been dosing TNC Complete, using the 3x dosage which supposedly approximates EI. But I’ve just done some sums, and I’m not sure it does.

Hey all! Looking for advice on how I can best change my dosing over from TNC Complete to DIY Salts for my low light/low tech tank. I know EI was designed with high light/high tech tanks in mind so I want to figure out what I would need to dose to roughly equal what I am dosing now with TNC Complete and maybe what I can safely increase/decrease from there. Thank you-I didn't mention any values here because different amounts work well for different people. I would personally encourage you to aim for Dennis Wong's values: (in ppm) And then only if the plants in it tell me it's necessary. Some low tech setups, depending in their age and plant species can be pretty self-sustaining without adding any ferts. For example, i have a low tech tank with Anubias, crypts, valis, java fern and a lily and some mosses. And i rarely dose it with ferts... If i do, the valis goes bonkers and out of control. TNC Complete is an aquatic plant food specially formulated for use in all planted aquariums. For aquariums where the fish load is not meeting the requirements to supply the necessary Nitrate and Phosphate TNC Complete is ideal for making up this shortfall.

We won't be beaten on the premium quality of our live algaecultures, and surely not on the price either!
