flourish fundamentals pack

Hi everyone...

I'm trying to revive my plants and I'm curious about your experiences. Some people swear by the F F pack - Flourish, iron, and excel. What products do you rely on for plant care?

Thanks so much for any advice you can share.

I'm familiar with two out of the three you mentioned. Excel, for instance, I'd advise against using if you have fish in your tank. The main ingredient, glutaraldehyde, is quite potent - it's used to disinfect surgical equipment and is even found in embalming fluid, so it's not exactly fish-friendly.

As for Flourish - assuming you're referring to the Comprehensive Supplement for a Planted Tank - I can vouch for its effectiveness. It's a good fertiliser that provides most of the trace elements your plants need, and I've had success with it in my own tank.

I actually dose twice a week, I find that works well for my plants and keeps them thriving.

I personally stick to Flourish Comprehensive Supplement, as it covers most of the essential trace elements my plants require. Given that I have a tank dominated by slow-growing plants, I've found that halving the recommended dose and administering it once a week works well for me.
