If you were in my situation, what would you order before knowing exactly
what your plants will react to? I know it would be best to wait, but I
can
save if I order everything right now.



I use the Flourish line in a 90g and don't find it all that expensive- it
works really well and I have no algae. I'm keeping a good variety of plants
in a low light/low tech tank- even the Red Tiger Lotus are doing well. Much
of the success I've seen is because I added a whole heaping bunch of fast
growing stem plants to begin with, so algae never really got established. As
time went on I tried new plants, got more of those that did well, and didn't
mourn those that didn't.

I use Flourish Excel, Flourish, Flourish Trace, Iron, Potassium, and the
root tabs. There are dosing directions on the bottles, or Seachem will snail
mail you a handy dandy dosage chart if you email them and ask.
