If someone had
success with Miracle Grow, let them shout it from the mountain - and let
you add your advice about safety.

I'll add my advice about safety, too.

There's simply no need to use something as dangerous as Miracle Gro, when
there
are so many safer fertilizers available for the aquarium. Just because
you
don't see sores on the fishes at lower doses does not mean they aren't
being
hurt, and that they aren't suffering. Ammonia damages fishes' gills. It
can
weaken them permanently, and hence, shorten their lives. Shrimp, which
many of
us keep for algae control, are even more sensitive to nitrogen products
than
fish.

Miracle Gro for a plant-only tank might be fine, but it's cruel to use it
in a
tank with fish.
