Seachem Flourish with Shrimp?

[GodFan]

Hi. My plants have a potassium defitiency. I need to add ferts. I cant find dry ferts so I was gonna do seachem flourish. There are 2 problems though. It doesnt list potassium so would it work? Also it says it has 0.0001% copper in it. Will it kill my shrimp?
Thanks and God bless!

Seachem has a flourish that's just potassium. Can't say about the shrimp, but my snails are fine with it. I dose flourish, flourish excel and flourish potassium.

It would be a very small amount of copper, and harmless to shrimp. Plain Flourish is micro nutrients, they sell the macros in separate bottles. Look for Flourish Potassium.

Ok. I was thinking about the Comprehensive. It says it has soluble potash which I just found out is potassium lol

Yea, it may be enough to treat your deficiency. I was dosing the comprehensive and excel but my sword and watersprite didn't perk up until I added the potassium one to the regime.

I would either get flourish potassium or order some dry potassium. Since it appears the only deficiency you have is potassium, adding comprehensive may cause some algae issues.

Well I got the comprehensive because I wasnt sure if I lacked anything else. If I still have problems in a couple of weeks then I will get the potassium.
