I'm so excited about my new plant order that will arrive tomorrow. I'll spend some time today tidying up their tanks for them. Sick...I know. Have some heavy root feeders coming. What do you guys use ?

Hey Frank ,My tanks look like jungles lol way over grown bottoms . I swear by ''API'' root tabs they work great !! hands down the best by far . I have tried the high priced crap cakes and they dont come close . Went back to my cheapo api tabs and within a couple weeks my lillys flowerd and my swords are spreading . I have to trim them badly got two stalks coming out of one that will break down into 4 new amazon big leaves . That an I use '' Seachums '' liquid fert ''flourish'' , I put tabs in 2 times a month and fert 2 times a week . Be carefull when you use fert though to much is bad real bad it will kill the hvy root plants the iron gets to high and poof there gone .

I use the Seachem Flourish Comp and I was planning on using the API tabs because I have a lot of their other products and they work well. On the TFK site, they were all saying that they switched to the Seachem tabs because the API made their water cloudy. After I use up these Seachem tabs, I'll switch to the API.

Hey Frank , I tried the seachams they were higher than the API I use to start with and to be honest I couldnt tell a diffrence to talk about . As for my water quality its the exact same . Wich I use two 40 filters in one tank but I use the tabs in all my tanks and have never had a problem with cloudy water . But that is just me , maybe someone else has diffrent chemicals in the water that reacts diffrently to the tabs ? I highly recommend the API tabs over all others . The API is a good aquatics producer meds , chemicals and so on . Their products are reasonably priced and above average quality I compared to the high priced and wasnt happy , I preffer the API . I wish they had a food line lol

I'll get some tomorrow evening. The son is on the case. He's charging, cleaning out memory, and getting the pieces together. It's an Ipod.
