Recommendations for Ferts! :)

[HerrGideon]

hi,

i've had dennerle base fertiliser in my tank for about 10 months already.
the plants are growing relatively well, but i heard liquid fertiliser is really good.

can any recommend good liquid ferts to me? thanks!

[|squee|]

Sera Florena.

There is no all-in-one liquid fert, no matter what they say. Read the "Articles on Dosing" in the Aquatic FAQ to understand what nutrients plants need first before you buy or dose anything.

And Sera Florena certainly isn't it

[HerrGideon]

so what would it be then?

[Plantbrain]

CO2
KNO3
KH2PO4
Trace mix of your choice.

Most are decent, Sera, Flourish, TMG etc.
I like Flourish and TMG personally both of which are available in SG.

Every tank make up is different. Different bioloads, substrates, lighting intensity and plant types/density. So there's no all-in-one fertiliser. Most commercial fertilisers with trace elements do not contain NO3 or PO4 which is also needed by plants. Some don't even have K.

Read more in the Aquatic FAQ "Articles on Dosing" as mentioned by Budak.

Hi Plantbrain, would like to know where to get these
KNO3
KH2PO4

I have lost touch with all this aquarium stuff for a while. And now my tank is having BBA. So, please advise if possible. Thanks.

Tom could send you some, but it will cost him! Get it from Dr. Mallick (www.singaporehydroponics.com)...do a search here for details.... ditto for control of BBA, which has been discussed ad nauseum.. thanks!

Yes, I have managed to get the whole ranges of Dr. Mallick product. The Aqua, micro the KNO3 and KH2PO4. This should make me busy for a while. Thanks guys for your advise.
