Re: [APD] pmdd



PMDD is very much related to "MACRO"NUTRIENTS,.i.e. no3, k and po4 and
NOT  only micronutrients and the basic purpose is phosphate limitation.

> You can buy commerical preparations from SeaChem, for example. Or you can
order some potassium phosphate from, for another example, gregwatson.com.
It's a powder, just add to the tank. If your tap water has none, you can add
about 1/4 tsp per 150 gallons, or adjust to suit your growing methods. You
can test with a good test kit like Hach or LaMotte and aim for about 1.0
ppm. Add more with water changes or when needed based on tests or
observation of plants or BGA. If BGA, then you probably need to add more.

first term that was loosely used in aquatic gardening. ;-)
