can i use this in aquaponics??

While I haven't used Sea 90 with fish, it is water soluble and very close to the mineral salts I have used in ornamental aquariums. I would do a test in an aquarium tank with a few fish first to make sure there are no ill effects in the fish.

Yes you can! I am using it in my 5.5 gallon tank, and many others use it as well. You'll want to get around 1 pound per gallon to have the right depth for your tank.

If you want to do that don't waste your money on the Hydroponic kit. Go buy a pack of seeds and plant them in the dirt. These are designed to wick up the water and nutrients and grow in the sponges. I don't think you would have good luck sticking these in dirt.

So sorry, I can not help you on this. I would call a local nursery and ask them or contact the manufacturer. The water from my urns using this product is for watering plants - don't know how safe it would be for fish and don't think I would use it until you find out if it is safe for them. Wish I could be more helpful.

If you are growing "easy" low demand aquarium plants you will be fine. I also use FLOURISH with good results. If you are growing water lillys you cant feed them enough so you will have to add fertilizer spikes

Yes. I bought it specifically to start cycling an aquaponics setup which requres ammonia without any additives besides water.

No. The chelating agent is likely Fe-EDTA, which is not only slightly toxic, but is only effective at low ph, making it useless for aquaponics. What you need is Fe-DTPA, which is effective up to 7.5 ph; or the more expensive Fe-EDDHA which is effective up to 9 ph. For a system around a 100g or less, 8 to 16 oz will last you years. I bought 16 oz for 19.95 with free shipping. Be careful, I ran across one listed as DTPA that said EDTA in the description, and nothing about use in aquaponics.

Yes. I have used small amounts in a tea that I brew for hydro and aquaponics

If you use the big chunky perlite it will work great. Btw, by itself perlite is considered a hydroponic substrate. One Ive had good success with

Paul, I bought this for my husband, so I asked him. This is what he said, "You can. But I just water mine enough to water the plants. I'm not trying to water it enough to get anything to run through and make fertilizer."Hope that helps. BTW...he loves his!

It doesn't work well in hydro, I think it agitates it too much. Try general hydroponics organic hydro line.

Everything I've read indicates the three are necessary. You only use a ounce of each per gallon of water. The fluids must be mix with the water not together or the chemical reaction nutrializes the effectiveness. I've had a lot of success with this product and it is tried and true. If you have questions, I recommend going to a local hydroponics shop if available or going to youtube and searching on the products or just general hydroponics. Good luck!

I don't know about that...I don't think it would work, I use mine for air plants & they are thriving.

high, ya I use it in promix & fill 3 gal pots up with HEALTHY roots. This rocks.but check out maxi crop,azomite,humic&fulvic; acid &mycrozie.; It's all about the Roots! Enjoy!

This is just my two cents worth. I suppose if you use enough of it, the pH of the soil could be raised. I base this on the fact that I use sea salt in my Cichlid fish tank to help raise the pH. However, since decomposing organic matter (like leaves and other composting matter) and many fertilizers lower the pH of the soil, it seems to me that the tendency of sea salt (such as Sea-90) to raise the pH cannot be a bad thing, assuming that you fertilize and include compost material in your garden.

Not sure. My plants are beautiful 4 to 8 foot indoors in a standard 11x12 bedroom and I use it every day. I am on community well water with a PH of 8 and bring it between 5 to 6 depending on the strain. I use 10 and 15 gallon smart pots with promix, organic fertilizers at less than 1/2 manufactures recommended level. Good air movement and the most important ingredient "light" and never forget love. This has worked well for me but every location is different from the water to the temperature and humidity everything can make a difference. I use to use for Hydro, had outstanding results but have given hydro up in old age. Not sure. My plants are beautiful 4 to 8 foot indoors in a standard 11x12 bedroom and I use it every day.

No its not just for hydro, I use it in soil-less mix (sunshine advance 4). I use it in week 2 of bloom at 5ml per gal. Hope this helps.
