I am going to plant my tank within the next four weeks and I was wondering what kind of fertilizer I should use with:
o Egeria densa
o Cryptocoryne beckettii
o Echinodorus quadricostatus
o Ludwigia repens
o Vallisneria americana

It came up in another post that if I were planning to use Flourish Excel it make melt my vals, crypts and densa.

Is there any kind of fertilizer anyone recommend I use?

Flourish Excel will certainly melt Valls Seachem will admit to that but do not know the reason why.

I use it in the small 45lt Cardinal Tetra tank and it has plenty of Crypts and they are thriving. I also use their plant pellets

If you want to use the Seachem products I strongly suggest you contact them give them as much details as you can including a full water parameters test.

Then they should be able to workout exactly what and how much you require to use and how often.

I did this and they were extremely helpful after using their products for several months I did another test and they adjusted the mix I was using.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info
