Here it is, i missed it (it was not in the recomended asking form).
Total K: 15.4ppm (8.4ppm from KNO3)

strange deficiency
Tap:
TDS = ?

NO3 = 0ppm
PO4 = 0ppm
GH = 3.5dH
KH = 2.5dH
Ca = 24ppm
Mg = 1.5ppm
CO2 = 0ppm
Aquarium target:
TDS = ?
pH = 6.4
NO3 = 12ppm
PO4 = 2ppm
GH = ?
KH = 2.5dH
Ca = 24 + 20ppm
Mg = 1.5 + 5
CO2 = 30ppm

WpL = 0.9
WpG = 3.5
Fish load low-medium
Plant mass medium
Substrate fine gravel 1-2mm

Fertilizer PMDD
1. Does these target values look OK or should i change anything.
2. I have some kind of deficiency (or at least i think so), the new parts of the plants just gets thinner and thinner and then totally stops to grow, it does not seem to affect all but quite a lot of the new parts, it seems to affect a lot of my different plants, is there anyone who has a clue about this problem?

Thanks, I will try to raise the Ca level a bit to see if it solves the problem.
If anyone else has some ideas that might be helpful don't hesitate to write a row or two

Do you have any records of what amount of Ca and Mg you had before the change and what you have after your change?shalu said:Yes, I had GH=8, but still Ca deficiency, it is relative to other elements, like Mg. It got better after I added CaCl2 to bring GH to 13.
this is my dosing:
KNO3 2.5g
K2SO4 5.1g
KH2PO4 0,93g
Trace mix 2.5g
CaCl2 8.2g
MgSO4 16.5g
By this schedule:
Day 1 80-90% WC, all nutritions exept Trace mix.
Day 2,4 and 6 Trace mix
Day 3 and 5 KNO3, K2SO4 and KH2PO4
Day 7 nothing
Trace mix in weight percent:
Fe(EDTA/DTPA) 6,50 %
Mn(EDTA) 3,80 %
B 1,10 %
Cu(EDTA) 0,22 %
Zn(EDTA) 1,10 %
Mo 0,33 %
KNO3 2.5g
K2SO4 5.1g
KH2PO4 0,93g
Trace mix 2.5g
CaCl2 8.2g
MgSO4 16.5g
By this schedule:
Day 1 80-90% WC, all nutritions exept Trace mix.
Day 2,4 and 6 Trace mix
Day 3 and 5 KNO3, K2SO4 and KH2PO4
Day 7 nothing

Mn(EDTA) 3,80 %

Is this dosing schedule OK, or do you thing i should change anything?
