How to dose PPS-Pro (EDTA+DTPA) Aquarium Fertilizer Package in your planted aquarium

  • Learn everything you need to know about aquarium plant fertilizer, plant nutrients, optimal nutrient levels, and diy fertilizer dosing methods: Dry Fertilizer Calculator and Fertilizing Methods.
  • Before you start, you will need a digital scale (preferably with 2 decimal places) to weigh the fertilizers and place them in the 500mL bottles
  • It's recommended to sanitize your plastic bottles prior to starting

How to Prepare the PPS DIY Stock Solution

Use your digital scale to measure the dry fertilizers and place accordingly in Macros and Micros bottles (see below measurements in grams). Next, fill bottles with distilled or reverse osmosis (RO) water, up to the 500mL water level line. Screw on caps tightly and shake well. Allow solution to dissolve completely, may take 24hrs. Warm water aids in quicker dissolution.

  • GLA EDTA+DTPA Micromix - 28.6 grams

How to dose PPS Macros and Micros daily in your aquarium

  • The dosing recommendations outline below are ideal for medium and high lighting aquarium conditions. For lower light aquariums, use half the recommended dose, and for very high light double the recommended dose. Occasional monitoring of NO3 levels via conductivity readings with an inexpensive and easy TDS Meter is recommended with PPS-Pro system to adjust dosing accordingly and determine need for water change.
  • For dosing the PPS system with a 50% water change once per week, review our PPS instructions for this dosing schedule based on tank lighting, otherwise follow instructions outlined below for dosing with or without occasional water change per tank needs.

Macros: daily dose of 1 mL* per 10 gallons or 40L of aquarium water. Dose daily, prior to your aquarium lights turning on, dose consistently. *(1ml = 20 drops)

Micros: daily dose of 0.5 mL or 10 drops per 10 gallons or 40L of aquarium water. Dose daily, prior to your aquarium lights turning on, dose consistently. (increase dose if pale new growth appears)

Total daily dose yields:

  • 1ppm NO3
  • 0.1ppm PO4
  • 1.33ppm K
  • 0.1ppm Mg
  • 0.05ppm TE(trace elements)

    There is a lot to love about GLA's PPS-Pro system.

    I gotta say, if you're a long term aquascaper or even just beginning. It would behoove you to use this for your fertilizer dosing. This super cost affordable kit will last you a long time, and you get all the nutrients you will ever need, including iron. Super cheap for what you're getting, because you can make tons of batches with one kit. My tank are loving this stuff.

    PPS pro

    This is a great package! A tip to you when you order though I ordered several packages to get free shipping but my package was overweight so I was still charged $20 for shipping. I should have split the order to get the free shipping and add alittle more to my order to get the second package shipped free also

    Dont be foolish.

    This is the way to dose your aquarium today. many reasons to do this so I will list them for you below. 1. You buy this if you want to save hundreds or thousands of dollars. Because thats what you do when you always buy fertilizer in a bottle. This PPS-Pro kit will make hundred of gallons of fertilizer. You get to reuse your bottles over and over again vs throwing them away. This is helping the planet my good people. You get to use the salts and mix your own like making a beverage. So easy people. You get all micros and all macros here, ok? So, you see now why yes? My plants are eating this up like its junk food. All my plants grow so fast it has me changing my approach because not I dont want to deal with always cutting plants. Im just glad to be off the premixed solutions. No more wasted bottles. Just think, you pay $20-$25 per bottle of premixed fertilizer, yes thats stupid Im sorry. You pay the same price here, for a whole years supply or more! Mix your own people, my god.

    GLA fertilizers always make my plants happy.

    This is my second kit in 2.5 years and its always awesome. Its been almost 3 years since I last used a commercial made mix. Ive saved hundred of dollars, yes hundreds. These PPS kits will last you a long time and you have way more control. My plants,fish and inverts all seem to be happy. I sell most all my plant clippings on forums so this kit is paying for itself and then some.

    Dry Fertilizer

    The package that green leaf put together could not make it any easier to dose fertilizer. The instructions they give are also very easy to read and understand. This combo works excellent and my plants grow exceptionally well. Very easy to dial it in to perfection as compared to the all in ones.

    Buy this fertilizer system.

    Its not as intimidating as it looks. I followed the directions and read tips in reviews and this is now my all time dosing system. Im crying right now not having done this years ago. We spend so much money on Tropica fertilizer I just want to cry. I can make so many batches of fertilizer and I feel totally good about it. The plants are growing much faster and I notice a difference in my lotus and stargrass on day two. Thanks guys!

    Great price, better quality and quantity.

    I did not realize how long this kit would last but from my basic math it should last me over a year. Thats an astonishing length of time compared to the premixed bottles I was using. With this kit you can reuse the bottles over and over again. My tank is totally happy, no complaints at all.

    My second kit in 3 years

    This is my second kit in 2 years and should have posted a review on year one. This kit is much nicer for me than the older PPS system. The DTPA in this kit is perfect for my PH in my planted aquarium. This aquarium fertilizer will last you a very long time. I mix one batch and that last me 6 months on the left side of my tank room. If I had used conventional fertilizer methods it would cost a fortune. This is pennies to the dollar and worth every penny. Mixing is easy, if you can make Kool-Aid you can mix your own aquarium fertilizer. My tanks are all glowing with growth.

    Game changing fertilizer system.

    This kit not only brought my tank back to life it has kept money in my bank. Im on my second batch and this kit will make loads more! I will never by a premixed off the shelf fertilizer ever again. My plants are glowing.

    Stellar aquarium fertilizer system

    Switched my dosing plan from the all-in-one solutions. Those were terribly expensive and wasteful. With my single PPS kit I can make several batches lasting me several years. I did my homework and GLA's PPS with DTPA is the absolute best system you will find for a very affordable price. I got this kit with the substrate capsules they sell and my 150g tank could not be happier.

    Such a great deal

    What a great kit this aquarium fertilizer system is on a few levels. First, the price is amazing when you compare it to anything off the shelf. You get to reuse your bottles over and over by creating more mixs with just this one kit. You dont have to toss the bottles when your done, you just keep making more. I love this fact from a pollution stand point. So much better than tossing your bottles away in the trash. Good on Green Leaf Aquariums for that. My 6 tanks love PPS-Pro dosing using this new micro DTPA/EDTA. If you pride yourself on your aquascapes then dont be foolish thinking a bottle of Tropica or similar will be better, because it will not. This system covers all the micros and macros and you get to tailor your mix should you feel the need. Fantastic! Thanks GLA for all the support, you have a customer for life.
