flourish trace vs iron vs excel?
Hi all
more newbie questions.. I apologize if I'm pestering everybody with trivial questions... (in hopes of not killing off too many plants along the way..) I just bought some flourish... and from reading the posts, it seems like many of the plants I would be getting requires lots of iron... (amazon swords, crypts, apongetons, etc) I've been trying to decide what other goodies I should get for the plants... and am a bit confused between the merits of getting flourish trace vs flourish iron vs flourish excel... can somebody break the three choices down to why you want to use which product, and how I would know which to get? (like, do I need to buy iron tester? etc?) linda |

It's not a "one or the other" thing. The various seachem products compliment each other. Flourish provides the micro-nutrients, including some iron, but not enough iron in most cases. Flourish iron doesn't provide any of the other needed traces, just the iron. So, Flourish Iron + Flourish = all micro nutrients should be good. Flourish Excel is a source of carbon. It might be beneficial if you are not injecting CO2. It doesn't completely replace CO2 injection, but it can improve growth if you can't/won't do CO2 injection.

So would TMG be the equivalent of SeaChem Flourish and Flourish Iron?

I just learned that it's Tropica MasterGrow. Do a quick search on google
for it.. Has anyone purchased this online? If so, where? linda mar wrote: what's TMG? linda "Chuck Gadd" wrote in message ...

flourish trace vs iron vs excel?
Big Al's seems to have the best price on-line for the 500ml bottle,
which was going for $10.99 when I ordered some today. On Tue, 28 Jan 2003 18:36:05 -0800, Daniel Whiting wrote: Never mind.. Quick search of the obvious sources (ie. bigal's) and I find it quite easily.. |

flourish trace vs iron vs excel?
Would it make a difference if i added seachem iron tabs into gravel instead
of flourish iron in liquid form? I am already doing flourish but my plants are suffering from lack of iron, yellowish minute leaves on amazon sword. "Ron Kundla" wrote in message ...
