Small audience for this one, I'm sure, but if you keep planted aquariums, it's a good deal for you.

I made a batch of Plantex CSM+B solution, and unfortunately was off in my calculation...by a factor of ten. After I diluted it out to the correct concentration, I ended up with approximately 4.5 liters of excess, and at the rate I use it, it will take me several months to use up. If you dose Seachem Flourish, Nutrafin Plant Gro, or any similar micronutrient supplement, this is the same thing and dosed the same way - 5ml/10gal. For those that care, it's dry Plantex CSM+B mixed at 23g/L, and I didn't add any HCl, just Excel.

It's pretty cheap to make (this blunder will cost me less than $5), but I don't want to store nearly 2 gallons of this stuff in the fridge, and I hate to let it go to waste when a 500mL bottle of the stuff sells for $10-12 in the store. If you have a planted aquarium and want some, I am giving it away for free. Just bring a suitable container and I'll fill it up.

For normal aquariums with live plants, you would dose 5ml/10 gal 1-3x a week, so 500ml will probably last you a while depending on the size of your tank and how many plants you have.
