I have a few low light plants ( Java Fern, Anubias and anacharis) and i'm wondering if it would be okay to use Flourish?

i just picked some up since i'm trying to get some plant growth going. I know i need more light and C02 is pretty much a must, but will this stuff help at all?

i want to use it in my 125.

thanks fellas!

CO2 isn't a must with those plants. I think you should be fine without the Flourish until you upgrade the lighting. The extra nutrients will probably just cause algae, since the plants won't be using it all.

flouish is just trace. long term its best to do dry ferts.

you prob dont need them. adding more light would most likely help the most. co2 isnt always a must.

I would look into DIY ferts. Such as PMDD (Poor Man Dosing Drops) or PPS-Pro Solutions or one fo the other systems.

What lighting do you have in your 125?
