A comprehensive has a do little amount of IG. Have you tried Iron gluconate? It's not like other irons like ferrous in health food stores..that is so-so. Garden iron too is only fair.
The Dr. does say..decent tap water,and water changes will provide the others,I will go one further on him and say gluconate acts as a way for plants to pull out those other 17 floating around much better.
Try it.
btw He says in one about GH..you might like finding out what he thinks of it. All his videos are short.
I also would strongly endorse it for non Co2 low tech. Nothing makes as huge a difference for them as IG..and the right lights.
Flourish was the culprit. It has been known to take out all the Vallisneria ..melt it. Flourish is an algaecide...that I wouldn't trust with sensitive plants. Ceratopteris is a fern, Ferns of all types love iron.
I have three types of Lotus...never seen them do so well.
Good, I have flourish comprehensive supplement, thanks for the infoI think you actually mean Flourish Excel. it will kill Vallisneria, and if overdosed it will kill fish, plants and bacteria. It is glutaraldehyde.
Flourish Comprehensive Supplement is a mix of all essential plant nutrients (except hydrogen, oxygen and carbon) in proportions as required by plants. It is a supplement, which is an important distinction.
Noted.
But the iron wasn't killing the plants from my view. A combo or other factors ? I don't know.
Do you do that after a water change? I would think that would be the best time.I add a half dose of flourish comprehensive and flourish trace elements with good results.
