Fully aware of products such as Flora Pride by Tetra and others, but just as there are DIY things to improve your tank, is there anything simple, cheap you can find at home or buy and add to your tank to Feed your plants and not hurt your fish?

Thanks alot, appreciate the help

I use all Seachem products in the Betta tank and it is certainly not cheap I reduce the costs by buying on the www. I use a LFS prepared plant food for the 5ft tank with this I buy it in bulk.

All the best in trying to find a suitable cheap plant food.

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

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Hi,
Actually there are several products that can supply some
of the various nutrients for your plants.

Stump Remover (KNO3) will supply nitrate and potassium
Be sure you purchase stump remover only, that it does not
contain any accelerators. Some have "extra" chemicals that
speed up the decaying process and those are harmful to
the aquarium.

Fleet Enemas (K2SO4) Use the Green Label only, will supply
Phosphate.

Epsom Salt, will supply Magnesium.

You can purchase DIY chemicals in "bulk" to roll your own
fertilizers from several sources such as Tom Barr's site.
