Default Re: EI dosing, just wanna make sure I understand!

Cool. Yes I was mentioning the tsp for reference, but I just got a crappy gram scale so I'm trying to measure in weights. I have two iron Hach test kits as I have to do quite a bit of iron mitigation for my well water, but at such low levels they seem iffy. I feel kinda crazy to be adding iron back to my water. I saw here that Flourish does have ingredients that CSM+B does not. Finally, how do you measure iron?

So far I've been using flourish just fine, but I want to switch to CSM+B with perhaps the odd dose of flourish to round things off.

On that note, I'd probably say that iron is the first thing I'm going to target. If nothing else hits toxic or deficient levels, I'll be aiming for dosing .3ppm Fe via CSM+B in order to hold a .3-.6 concentration. My aim is to get rid of the big bottle of Fe DPTA sitting around.
