Like you I use the Nutrafin Plant Gro and it works for me. Unlike you I
do not have CO2 systems on any of the tanks...the plants grow fine and
apart from the "green spot" stuff on the front I have little problems in
the "planted" tanks
Very little else on the market in the UK....I tried the Red Sea Plant
substrate stuff which worked for a while, I've tried Laterite....what
works best is the Nutrafin stuff....
