    You can choose either to satisfy one party without bring harm to the others.

    You might want to check the copper content of your tank. I understand some shrimp product also have copper in them.

    I am using JBL Ferropol at the moment. Only came across Lush after i bought my fert.

    So currently dosing 1/4 of the recommended dosage so as to play safe. Can't really confirm if my fert is really shrimp safe or not as my tank is only running at 2 months+, while my Fire Reds introduced about 2 weeks ago.

    Will be switching over to lush if i can earn some extra allowance through this holiday

    Borneo wild lush is a good product for moss and low
    Light requirement plants. I've been using it, it does improves my moss colors. But i advice to use it with borneo wild recharge. It helps to condition your water for plants. Both product shrimp safe and i've been using it for nearly a year.
    Can give it a try.
