Since Jim was asking about substrate need, I figured I would post some of the calculators I have run across. It may save some of you a little bit of time...

I don't know how accurate some of these are since I am not a chemist. I mainly use Chuck's Calculator and the KH Calculator. Let me know if you know of any others and I will add them to the list!

Sorry for butting into a club forum but there's another great fert calculator right here on APC: the Fertilator.

Also this is one of the best conversion calculators I have yet to see; converts everything:

You're not butting in at all Laith, it's a public forum

I did not mention the fertilator since it is on this site but I guess I should have. Thanks for the Conversion Calculator also.

I recall there was a calculator that had Seachem Equilibrium, anyone has the link?

The third link in the first post

Sorry, what I meant was there was a calculator that had Equilibrium in addition to dry ferts like KNO3, etc in one single application. I had it in my PC until my hard disk crashed and I could not recall where I downloaded it from...

thanks for any help in advance...
