This is my first aquarium with live plants so I wasn't sure what to use or how much. Gabby gave wonderful advice about how often and how much to feed the plant since the measurements are written out for large tanks. The plant food worked beautifully after following her instructions. Odalys, the cashier, is always friendly when I go through her checkout lane and had additional recommendations for how to properly care for the plant. The plant and fish that I added in a week later are both looking very happy!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Packed well to prevent spills while shipping. Takes a very small amount for a hundred gallon aquarium. One bottle should last a very long time. After three months, it should be refrigerated.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Flourish and Flourish Excel have been doing wonders for the plants in my 10 gallon tank. I use the Flourish 2 times a week and 1mL of Excel every or every other day and my plants are loving it. I finally got fish added once the tank cycled and was hesitant to continue adding chemicals to the tank, but my Ember Tetras as well as my mystery snail have all continued thriving so I can assume it's pretty safe for fish and inverts. I use the Iron occasionally but it seems, according to the bottle, that it is mostly an iron supplement if the other two bottles of Flourish aren't giving enough so I can't really report any results from that part of the Fundamentals.

Yes, I recommend this product.

shrimp & neon tetras

I have a set-up similar to the one you describe that is very thick, healthy and attractive. I use Flourish, Excel, this pack, their Iron and "Trace". I dose 1ml of Flourish, Excel, and Iron M / W / F. T / R / S I dose 1ml of Excel and iron as well as .5ml of Nitrogen, .5ml of Phosphate and 1.5ml of Potassium. Initially I killed all my inverts with "Trace" at the Seachem recommended dosage but since cutting it (I dose .5ml T / R / S) I've been able to successfully add shrimp and dwarf crayfish.

What size are the bottles and how much does each bottle treat gallon wise?

8 years ago
Each bottle is 100ml. If your new to the product I would recommend to use the beginner dose chart. Phosphorus: use 2.5ml per 20 gallons, this would equal to 40 doses. I would dose twice a week. Potassium: Use 5ml per 30 gallons, this would equal to 20 doses. I would dose twice a week until color returns to a bright color then use once a week. Nitrogen: Use 2.5ml per 40 gallons, this would equal to 40 doses. I would dose twice a week until the growth returns to a desired level then drop to once a week. The nice thing about this product is that it can be measured via the cap.

Fundamentals Kit (CD-21243) and Enhancer Kit (CD-21244)

10 years ago
Sorry for the "squishy" answer, but... it depends. The Essentials pack is just that; what everyone, IMO, needs to use. The enhanced pack contains elements already present in Flourish, but this kit is for addressing specific issues; i.e. symptoms of deficiency of any of one or all of these elements. So... unless you test every aspect of your water every day and know exactly (if at all) what nutrients your water lacks, just stick with the "Essential" pack.

Are the Fundamentals and Enhancer kits safe for tanks with fish? I know Flourish Nitrogren would be unsafe, but what about the other other products?

8 years ago
No problems at all, I use this kit in two of my community tanks with no ill effects on the fish.
