are "regular" fertilizer sticks appropriate for aquarium use?

[Duncan A. McRae]

I'm afraid that they'll dissolve too quickly, either creating an annoying
bloom or toxifying my water and wiping out the tank.

Thanks;

most people will tell you that jobes sticks are the best such sticks but I
havent had a problem with the other brands

Be sure to place the stick deep in the substrate to minimise water column
seepage and try to use fern/palm varieties that are low in phosphate and
urea/nitrate content.
