Anybody try this yet? I put some in my tank today with the water change. Hopefully, it works out good!
 
I use it weekly, not sure if it's any better than anything else out there though because it's the only thing I've used.
 
it's not the best fert on the market. Tropica plant nutrition plus is the best on the market imo, however i'm using normal Flourish made by Seachem at the moment and don't have any complaints. If you check the nutrients in Leaf Zone and then on Flourish or TPN, Leafzone is missing some of the important ones.
 
As ianho has mentioned, leafzone isn't the best trace nutrient product on the market although it does contain some potassium (a macro nutrient). I'd go with Tropica Plant Nutrition.
However, deciding on what fert to get depends on your tank set up and what the plants are demanding. For example, Low tech set ups with low lighting would probably be ok with Leafzone because their demand for macro nutrients is low enough that the fish will probably supply enough. However a medium to high tech tank with more light would need a fertiliser containing micro and macro nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium), more than what the fish can provide.
Generally it's better to dose daily instead of weekly to ensure that the plants do not run out of nutrients at any point. Simply divide the weekly dosage by 7.
