Aquarium Co-Op "Easy Green"

[JackBinimbul]

I've been looking around for fertilizer solutions and have determined that liquid ferts are probably my best bet.

Here's my specs: 20g long, cories, endlers and RCS. Will be moderately planted with java fern, java moss, anubias nana petite, dwarf hairgrass, bucephalandra and frogbit. Low-med FSPEC light, low-tech.

I'm wanting an All-In-One fert solution and came across Aquarium Co-Op's "Easy Green". I did a search here and saw that Barliman swears by it, but haven't found much else.

Does anyone have long-term experience with this brand? Is there another suggestion? I want to keep it as simple, easy and affordable as possible.

Thrive all in one IMO a much better product

I’ve heard good things about Thrive. There is even a shrimp safe version of it.
Before I went with dry ferts, I used a combo of Seachem Flourish Comprehensive and API Leaf Zone.

I use Aquarium Co-op's easy green in my 55 gallon tank. So far, it seems fine. No deficiencies visible and its super easy to dose with a pre measure pump. I do use a little potassium nitrate dry fert supplement to get my nitrates up as I grow riparium plants out of the top and they keep my nitrates pretty much at zero. I use seachem flourish on my 5 gallon planted tank and it seems to be the superior product compared to easy green. The plants seem to grow more vigorously. I am going to switch my 55 gallon over to flourish once I run out of easy green. I used to do my own dry ferts when the 55 was high tech and obviously that is typically a more comprehensive fertilizing regime, but takes more effort. Just my two cents.

Been following cory at aquarium co-op for awhile. Been using his easy green for six months. Much better product than most ferts you find in stores. I have eight tanks with two of them with shrimp an have no problems. You can't beat the price.
