Hi,
I have a 240ltr planted tank with a non-Co2 set-up. Lighting is 2x 54W T5s, and Aquamedic Volcanit substrate.
I currently dose Seachem Fluorish as a liquid fert fortnightly.
Plants in are Vallisneria Asiatica, Echinodorus Bleheri, and crypto species. Coming up is a group of Pogotemon Helferi.
Plants are quite healthy, although their growth is very slow.
As i am now aware that with the Seachem Fluorish i might not be dosing a complete nutrient supply (not enough iron, and macro elements), i checked what else is needed in the Seachem range in order to make a complete dosage. Infact Seachem produce Seachem Fluorish Iron as extra iron additive, Fluorish Potassium, Fluorish Phosphorus and Fluorish Nitrogen as macro nutrition. This seems to be quite expensive as this means 5 products.
Meanwhile, Ocean Nutrition offer the Fertil+ as micro nutrition, Trace+ as macro and iron+ as extra iron additive. The Ocean Nutrition might sound less expensive, but checking both websites the seachem range seem to be packed up with more ingredients.
From experienced guys here, which is the best go?
