devon7 Big Fish Posts: 475 Kudos: 356 Votes: 4 Registered: 31-Aug-2004	well I decided to get a small pack and just try them in my 10 gallon and see how i like them. I put one in on wednesday and already some of my plants are showing significant growth! probably like 2 inches or so. I havent tested the KH yet but I am hoping it will raise it a point or two seeing as it is still testing at 2.

I'm not sure you can just drop them in the water ? As I say I've never used them so could be wrong, just noticed on the pack it said "use with......etc etc" Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.
