is equilibrium really a good source for micros?


basically what the title says, is seachem equilibrium really a good source for micros, like boron? i'm dosing this with potassium nitrate and mono potassium phosphate. i am starting to see some deficiencies and was wondering if i should have used csm+b instead. but i would still need equilibrium anyways b/c i have a low gh.

Seachem's Trace or Flourish Comprehensive are good for traces. Equilibrium is good for calcium, potassium, magnesium, and Iron. There may be trace levels of traces in there, but I wouldn't rely on it to supply enough traces for your plants.
