Hi, I have been working on this calculator since last April and I think it is now time to release it and give it a try. Enjoy…

Editor Note:
I noticed some problems when using the calculator with Firefox. I will try to fix this asap. If you have problems with any other browser, please let me know. Thank You.

Remember that KNO3 will rise both Nitrate and Phosphate.

What do you want to do?

STEP 1:
It's too risky to dose dry ingredient so let's make a
stock solution with: grams in ml of water.

STEP 2:
Let's see what happen when you add 1 ml of this stock solution to a gal ( liters ) tank.

RESULT:
1 ml of the solution will add




KNO3 1 tsp = 5.6g
KH2PO4 1 tsp = 4.8g
KS2SO4 1 tps = 6g
KCl 1 tsp = 6g
MgSO4 1 tsp = 5.4g

KNO3 = Potassium Nitrate
KH2PO4 = Potassium dihydrogen phosphate
KS2SO4 = Potassium Sulphate
KCl = Potassium Chloride
MgSO4 = Magnesium Sulphate
