Is there A guide for how I should mix your ferts with water? can I put all the fertilizers in 1 bottle with water?

If you have a small tank then the Seachem line of ferts should last you a while. However if you have a large tank or multiply tanks then bulk ferts would be the better choice.

You will want to mix the ferts in separate bottles. This way you can dose each fert (nitrates,phosphates,pottasium, micros) in the amounts needed. I use empty Seachem/Kent (250L) to mix my dry ferts with tap water in.
