Just ordered my first dry ferts and was wondering

[bbortko]

I'm making the switch to dry ferts and ordered kno3, kh2po4, k2so4, and csm+b. I would like to premix them in the proper ratio so that dosing is as simple/convenient as possible. I just want to make sure its safe to do this, don't want to worry about a bad chemical reation or the compounds breaking down and becoming useless.

If you find info please pm me. I am dosing dry as well and surely doing it wrong although my tank looks pretty good with fairly minimal algae. I fill a water bottle then add whichever dry ferts I am dosing that day and shake till dissolved then add periodically throughout the day when lights are on.

You'll want to make 2 separate mixtures, one for macro and one for micro, amounts are different depending on what your target levels are.

IMHO you're better off just dosing dry, and I wouldn't dose K2SO4 because if you're dosing N and P according to EI you're getting enough K from dosing KNO3 and KH2PO4.
