what to look out for in terrestrial fertilizer?
 

When buying terrestrial fertilizers to use in the aquarium, what are big
no-no ingredients to look for? I know to look out for urea and copper, what
else? Thanks!

Phosphate is a no-no.

*Ecess* phosphate is a no no. Lack of phosphate is a big no no.

Phosphate is a no-no.

Sorry, just goes to show you shouldn't shoot off when responding .....

Excess Phosphate, or high levels of, could be an issue (Algae).

A lot depends on your tap water. Considering that you are suppose to
maintain a 16:1 N:P ratio, if you tap water has any phosphate, you can
probably forego any P in your fertiilzer.
