Which Aquarium Plant Fertilizer Should You Use?

Hi guys! Since making this video Aquarium Co-op has changed Easy Green to have several times higher the NPK and it's generally more concentrated now. Still no copper. Nilocg Thrive has gone down in N and P just a little bit, and the nutrient percentages have been slightly modified.

What ferts to use with discus?

Aquatic plants don't need high nitrogen and phosphorus levels, what most tapwaters are deficient in is iron and potassium 👍

The flourish one has low nitrogen levels because the fish creates nitrogen from food waste and fish waste turns into that

can you put links please

Are all of these fertilizers safe for fish?

Great video I like the quick overviews and hearing your opinion on the macros

Did the packaging change for Nyloc Thrive all in one

great content i hope that she comes back 😿

Thank you so much! This video has been so helpful!!

I have had massive success with the flourish, but it’s mainly due to my tank’s high bioload that supplies the nitrogen

What about Fluval Plant Micro Nutrient?

I use Api Leaf Zone now and I have to admit my plants are growing better than they were using more complete liquid fertilizers.

I'm using easy green, and my plants are still dying in places, with leaves falling off and holes appearing. That sounds like a bad potassium deficiency. They otherwise look great. Some green spot algae, so phosphate must be low as well.

Bro, this video is perfect, it gets right to the point and has a concise and informative way of describing each fertilizer

😍

I was just about to purchase leaf zone too lol good thing I watched this video

Great informative and educational video! Thanks :)

Wow, this is still helpful in 2021. Just bought some Easy Green

Good vid, I never learned so much so quickly about fertilizer before

Knowledge. You are Educated thank you

Has anyone ever used Liqui-Dirt? If so is safe? Does it work? I can’t seem to find any info! Says on the bottle safe for all animal life and waterways but I cannot for the life of me find any info of anyone ever using it in their tanks or anything like that.

Best fertilizer video, thanks for putting in the work

Tbh I use API leaf zone and it’s working perfect just like all the other fertilizers and the thing abt this one is that it Doenst even change anything from your water chemistry which is always a good thing API leaf zone is just more concentrated on potassium and iron which makes it so good.

Thank you so much for this video

Seachem fertilizer is expensive and u have to buy each bottle for specific nutrients which gets expensive

do carbon filters really take nutrients needed for plants?

Just want to ask if thats safe with a betta fish?

Do you have a Direct link of we’re you buy the Na thrive?

Why do you use liquid fertilizer and not root tabs? Is there any different?

Thanks so much. The time stamps were awesome!

Good stuff. thanks!

I liked how you did your video, showing the nutrient composition with it, so smart. I've been trying to narrow down which fertilizer, I'm still stuck between easy green and thrive, but the thrive live has so many options, still confused.

If the root tab contains copper would it kill your snails and shrimps?

You seem to have forgotten the fact that theses should be used in combination with fertilizer tabs. After 40 years I save the money and make my own.

Avoid anything using copper if you do shrimp only. I'm sick of fish

Which type of fertilizer will be best for a java fern and Anubias tank beside the co2?

seachem is the way I go for everything

Is the api good for a low tech planted tank

Dang I found this extremely helpful! Your awesome!!!!

I just learned I have the worst fertilizer ever. Dont even bother with API Leaf Zone....lol. OK...

your aquarium is usually producing nitrogen actualy we have to get rid of the excessive amputs of it so no need to add more throgh fertilizers

Thanks for your vids. Most informative ones out there for someone trying to learn

you look asian... Filipino?

Marry me

You taught me so much in such little time it .all really does make sense .your knowledge amazes me I definitely hit that subscribe button!!!

Excellent, informative video... Thank you!!!

Flourish seems like it's the best fertilizer for a dirted tank since you'd already have plenty of phosphorous and nitrogen.

awesome thakn you, i just ordered the combo root tab and liquid Nilocq :D
