Will dosing API leaf zone kill Ghost Shrimp? I've heard it will and I have heard it won't. Anyone have any experience with this or know?

I used to use Leaf Zone in my first planted tank. It only adds K and nothing else from what I remember. There is nothing that should be harmful in Leaf Zone as most fert regimins contain the same as Leaf Zone plus some.

Tom Barr has made a few comments on the subject. Just don't go overboard.

I looked at the bottle and it says it has 3% KO2 and .1% Iron.

I'm not sure if the iron is bad or not.

The greatest concern is copper, and only then in high amounts. If you have plants I am sure they will be absorbing the extra bit of iron anyway.
