It is perfectly safe for fish and shrimp, the salts you are putting is pretty much like us eating fruit and veg. These salts are what the plants use to grow and thrive.
they work fantastic, you will find these salts in all the aquarium plant fertilizers. You can get them from the link in the video information if you live in the UK if you are in the US maybe someone can point you in the right direction
sorry for the late reply, my mix is double the strength so i dont have to make it up so regular. my bottles are indeed only 500ml. The mix i state is the one i find perfect for my tank. There are some other calculators out there if you want to try some others. just search google for EI Calculator
Hi mate great video - Greetings from Gibraltar. Please excuse my limited knowledge in Chemistry; it was my weakest subject of my Sciences and never my favourite when in school. I spend a small fortune on Seachem Plant fertz and very keen to explore this DYI method. If I were to dose with your Macro formula and the Chelated trace, should i also be dosing for Iron and Potassium? Will this cover all the fertz required in a heavily planted tank? At the moment i dose Seachem Iron, Potassium and Flourish. I also have injected Co2 and contemplating in fitting an automated dosing pump for the ferts to ensure consistency. Many Thanks Keith

I've been following this method for about a month with excellent results so far. Thanks.
By far the best video about EI.

you can use it in any tank with plants, with or without CO2

Thank you for the vid, keep'em coming :)
why dont you add K2SO4 ? lot of sites suggest adding four chems: KNO3, KH2PO4, K2SO4 and MGSO4. help out a newb here.
how did you get hold of the salts and how well would you say they work
hello can i use distiiled water thank you for your videos..
+peter verrone Distilled, RO, Tap......it's all fine
thank you so much
can u tell me how this works and if its safe for fish n shrimp
do u use co2 with this or is it good by its self
Bro that 50 ml is for densely planted tank or only for some plants ? A video would be nice .. . Thank you :)
thanks, really helped
where can i get those (EI) thing?
Why so much phosphate? That's like 30ppm per week. EI recommends more like 3 to 5 ppm per week. And no potassium sulfate?
Thanks for the informative video. But can you stop saying 'ehhhh' after every sentence? It detracts a bit from the message... thanks!
