Hi everyone, just reading about substrate fertilisers. Can anyone in "oz", specifically Western Australia, recommend which brand to use, or what you have had success with.

Thank you in advance - crusha.

The only ones that I have really used is the flourish tabs but someone I know is using Pond tabs because they are quite a bit cheaper.

I've used the Aquasonic (Aussie-made) and Flourish tabs. They both work fine although I prefer the Flourish tabs. Aquasonic is quite a bit cheaper, but you'd have to use it more frequently as it loses effectiveness rather quickly (the instructions say to add weekly). Flourish tabs last for about 3 months. Also the Aquasonic tab distintegrates into a white powdery gunk so it can cause a mess during gravel vacs. HTH!
