New micros #12

Closed tmaciak closed 12 years ago

1) Polishing names of Polish fertilizers. 2) Added new fertilizer. 3) Attempt to add new fertilizers as compounds - please check, as those are liquid compounds, as I understand at the moment you support officially only dry salts. For percentages, I used "mass %" from original fertilizer label.

Since 2) is a liquid premixed fertilizer, you only need to edit constants/commercial_products.yml

Looks good! I left out the compounds.yml (dry/diy fertilizer) commit. Your additions are live.

Hi,

Thanks for accepting commit J

Regarding liquids as component, I understand your approach, but as Mikro and Mikro Plus are quite concentrated (they are aimed at agricultural market) should be dosed to aquarium in very small amounts, so people tends to made a weaker solution, concentrated more or less like Floramix.

Mikro:

To reach your target of 0.5 ppm Fe you will need to add 3 mL INTERMAG Mikro to your 100.0 L aquarium to yield […]

It is very big dose of microelement but still it is only 3ml to 100L.

Floramix:

To reach your target of 0.5 ppm Fe you will need to add 21 mL INTERMAG Floramix Rośliny Wodne to your 100.0 L aquarium to yield […]

So if you will be considering some changes in calculator IMO it would be worth to consider possibility to use liquid as compounds.

Pozdrawiam,

Tomasz Maciak
