Epsom salts provide manganese and helps to raise the GH in a pond. If you
had palm trees that were yellowing, and went out to buy palm tree
fertilizer, you would be buying manganese: at about 5X the cost of a bag of
epsom salts (same/same)

plants?

its potasium the second number in fertilizer like 10 10 10 or 10 30 15
for the life of me I cnt remember what epson salts do but they are
benificial to plants
neiter in normal doses will hurt fish
