CorallineAlgae said:Seachem comprehensive should be ok for a 10. I use dry ferts that are mixed into 2 solutions. It's a little more money up front but you get enough to last for years if you decide to go with dry ferts. Still, my tanks did fine with easy to keep plants for years with only Seachem comp and iron.

I got the Green Fert Pack since it contains both micros and macros. You should also get two of those dispensers as it makes easier to pre-mix and measure out doses depending on whether you're going to fertilize via the EI or PPS-Pro methods.

Have anyone used pond fertilizer spikes in a planted aquarium?
I bought one called Laguna mini fertilizer spikes from a pet store, they claimed to be safe for fish.
But it's been a week since I added them and I'm showing ammonia and high nitrates on my tank.
Please can someone tell me if it's the fertilizer or is this is just a mini cycle?
Thank you
