This is how I've been running my tanks for about 6 months!

I'm going to try DIY daily tank dosing. I've already made my mix. I'm going to do macros in one and micros separate.

I think of macros in terms of NPK relative to NO3. For example, I like my macros to deliver, for every 1ppm NO3, approx 0.3ppm PO4 and ~0.75ppm K.
I base my dosing around this NO3 rate.

For example, if I want to dose 1ppm NO3 per day, I know that I'm also dosing 0.3ppm PO4 per day, too. Some might think that I'm not providing enough K, but that's because I dose the other ppm K with the remineralizers...
