    Citric Acid - Source of Carbon for plants[?]

    Darell: Well it works only with some plants like Egeria Densa and Cabomba which I`ll not keep in my tanks :thumbdown: So, my next question is: Does Brighwell make money on placebo? I`ve got a good feedback about Florin Axis from our customers at the shop. I think that it`s very weak acid...

    MANANDO

    Hi, Manado should be fine for any other tanks I suppose, but I`ve no time to check it. For substrate like this EI should be ok.
