I am interested in peoples opinions on which liquid fertiliser to use.
I have got a 40"x 18.8" x24.25" 2oo litre tropical tank quite heavily planted.
I dont really want to go down the route of using co2 but i want to give the plants a bit of a boost.
I have been recommended Seachem flourish.
Would Easycarbo or liquid co2 be any better?
I would appreciate any suggestions

In my tank I use TPN+ (tropical plant nutrition plus) and Easycarbo. I got these as they were recommended to me on here by a few members!

Just to be clear - Easycarbo is a liquid Carbon (the same as Seachem's Flourish Excel) and neither are ferts.
If you start dosing a liquid carbon you will need to think about adding a complete (includes Nitrates, Phosphates, Potassium etc) fertiliser and Seachem Flourish isn't that, it's just a Trace mix with a bit extra. :good:
