I don't think you are going to find one good fert that does it all you need some sort of micro and macro ferts at the very least.

 

[JasonG75]

PMDD is a good start. I would use Root tabs as well.

I've been using kents marine pro plant and kents marine iron and manganese and I have amazing growth. They're available at petco or petsmart.

Did I miss something --like what plants you have/hope to grow? Can talk nutrients, especially tabs, without knowing what your plants are!

 

[radioman]

Seachem makes a good line of what you need.

 

[mr.schertz]

Maybe someone can see my plants and suggest what I need, and the best place to get it.

 

[kamikazi]

i agree with those that suggest no one product is going to do it.

I found the cheapest and best way is to get dry ferts from aquarium fertilizers.com and dose them according to Tom Barr's EI Light for those less techy folk you can get all the dry ferts you need for this method at aquariumfertilizers.com a pound of each type will run you about 30 bucks total and with a 10 gallon tank should last well over a year.

RootMedic(my product) comes in 2 bottles(the only fertilizer that comes supplied this way). Micro in one, macro in the other. The concentration will beat that of Seachem all day, every day.

Combining them with RootCaps from RootMedic(RootMedic Complete, Complete+, Iron Complete, etc) makes a full coverage option.

Pfertz comes in 4 bottles(another sponsor here). Similar nutrient content. They also make a root tab that would do you well too.

Aquariumfertlizer.com offers a package of dry ferts that can cover all your bases.

I wouldn't use PMDD. It just leaves you with wrong proportions and no phoshpate.

If I'm not mistaken rootmedic's two bottles are less expensive than Seachems line as well.

I highly considered rootmedic. I narrowed it down to rootmedic and dry fert EI dosing when making my choice. I chose dry ferts and EI b/c with dosing two tanks (29 and 40) i could save a little more money the trade off being loss some convenience.

Seachems is good but stupid expensive. Root medic and green leaf aquariums support this site. I highly recommend them they are high quality and affordable.

RootMedic is an excellent choice if you are wanting a great product. You certainly (IMO) dont need to start messing with dry ferts. But For your situation I would consider only dosing mIcro nutrients. If you are doing WC's with tap water you are more than likely replenishing all of the mAcro nutrients (NPK) you will need with each change. Adding extra mAcro nutrients wont hurt anything and when it comes to ferts its ALWAYS better to have more then enough but your tank looks pretty low tech. If you were to ass pressurized co2 and a brighter light then I would suggest the whole deal.

unless you dose phoshpate seperatly..and my root tabs have 0.17%
