Question about B&B Dry Ferts

[Rex]

I've been using dry ferts purchased from B&B hydroponic for some time now, but there was something I never figured out.

I have a 75 gallon planted, 2.16 wpg of T5HO lighting, flourite base, pressurized co2. I dose via the EI method and was wondering, one of the ferts is a chelated micronutrient mix and I never learned the proper dose for this one.

Here's the chart I use:


60 – 80 Gallon Aquariums
+/- 3/4 tsp KN03 3x a week
+/- 3/16 tsp KH2P04 3x a week
+/- ¼ tsp (15ml) Trace 3x a week
50% weekly water change

Would the micronutrient mix fall under Trace? I was weary of over dosing as I don't know if all trace mixes are created equal. Is there anyone who uses the same stuff that could provide some insight? Thanks!

That is correct,the  micronutriment mix is the same as Trace elemnets.
For the most part not all trace mixes are created equal, some would have a bit more of something than others, example some would have more Iron & different chealtors, but the 1/4 tsp suggested serves as a good reference point to start with , you can vary up or down depending on the response of your plant needs( notice the +/- signs before all suggested doses by EI chart)
