basic aquarium plant fertilizer
Hi,
I'm getting set up for some low to medium light plants in my aquarium. can someone recommend me a well-rounded fertilizer that I can use? liquid form is preferable although I understand it may not be good enough for some plants (like amazon sword..). Also if a general guideline if offered (how much per gallon, etc) would be helpful. I think I'll be getting about 16 plants of various kinds (through trueaquariumplants.com) thanks! linda ps. I'm still working on the lighting, so plant won't arrive for a while.. |

Hello Linda,

I would recommend Seachems flourish - it's pretty concentrated and very
cheap, but does an excellent job of plants growth. I was using tropica master grow and was getting a lot of algae, then switched to flourish and the plants are happier with less algae. $10 Canadian will buy you enough to dose a 90 gallon for 3 months at mops.ca (500ML) "LM" wrote in message ...

Seachem Flourish -- is it a FERTILIZER?
I have it the refridgerator. I have yet to open it. I bought it during Boxing day sale over at Big Al's (25% off) planning to use it as a supplement to TMG. "Mentaloid" wrote in message ...

I've used it for over a year, with great results, no algae to speak of...

It contains no nitrates or phosphates, and only trace amounts of potassium. It doesn't contain as much iron as is needed in most tanks, which is why they sell a seperate Flourish Iron....

The old packaing says,"Flourish - Water Supplement for the Natural
Aquarium." And on the description, "A NON-FERTILIZER for ..." I guess it's the old packaging. It's kinda confusing. "Chuck Gadd" wrote in message ...

It's probably because of government requirements on any "fertilizer". If you call it a fertilizer, you need to deal with lots more government regulation. Chuck Gadd http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua |
