Nutrient cocktail using miracle grow

[Subsea]

Considering that 30:1 ratio of nitrogen to phosphorus is the goal, how much of Austin clear ammonia is required for a 1 liter solution 100 grams by weight of dry miracle grow? I will use this fertilizer cocktail for seaweed mariculture growout in 1000G outside systems.


Active Ingredient: Total Nitrogen - 24% .....3.5% ammoniacal nitrogen .....20.5% urea nitrogen Available Phosphate - 8% Soluble Potash - 16% Boron - 0.02%, Copper - 0.07%, Iron - 0.15%, Manganese - 0.05%, Molybdenum - 0.0005%, Zinc - 0.06%
Formulation: Fertilizer Analysis: 24-8-16

I would not add that to a reef. Too much of the heavy metals, IMO.

It is not going into a reef. It is going into outside mariculture tanks with Gracilaria Parvispora and pods.

When I first started as a seaweed farmer, it was to produce Red Ogo as a human food. To that end, I sent Ogo off to Ward Labs to get dry analysis so that I could certify what was in the seaweed:
