I am looking into getting a quality plant fertilizer for aquatic plants. I am interested in what people are using to fertilize their plants.

    What Kool Bananas said.
    Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams.

    With the dino range of products, would you need to use all products together. I have trying to grow banana lillies in an aquarium. Also, I will be planting java fern. Also, planning to grow lime rush and dwarf green rush.

    Best regards,

    Hi Luigi,

    Dino spit and Dino pee are liquid fertilisers, dose regularly to feed your floating plants and those tethered to rocks/driftwood.

    Dino dung into the substrate close to the root system particularly the heavier feeders, monitor your growth rates and redose as required, six weeks up to three months.

    Make sure you know what your plants need and don't neglect iron supplements. Calcium is also essential for healthy green growth.

    Check what is in your fertiliser and don't overdo it.

    Regards,

    Bob

    silly question re dino spit. is it to use if you have Co2 or is it to use if you DONT run Co2?
    im trying to get my hair grass and dwarf baby tears to carpet without co2. and i was looking at the dino range of ferts.
    was going to dry dino pee. and wasnt sure if, seeing i have no co2, if dino spit would also help?
    Thanks

    It would help if you have no co2 running, the two ie spit and pee, work well together ;) careful with the spit, it can melt some crypts :/ and soft plants
