I do not have planted tanks really but I do have a few plants, hornwort, pennywort, duck weed, java and peacock moss and most recently Asian Ambulia.

I have noticed after water changes the plants tend to die off a bit and I would like to be able to avoid that. I figure it is a lack of nutrient thing.

So I need something cheap, simple and safe to use with inverts and livebearers to add to the water on occasion.

Any recommendations? I have a hard time finding things around here since I dont even have a LFS that sells stuff like that. So if you have links to reputible safe places to get it from online I would love to see them. Thanks
 
Hi Apples...here are a few online places you can by Flourish Excel by Seachem, www.thatfishplace.com , www.drsfostersmith.com , www.petsolutions.com , www.bigalsonline.com , www.aquariumdepot or www.aquariadepot.com one of those two. Flourish Excel is not good for Anacharis or Vals from what I've read. It causes them to melt. I think theres another plant that falls into that category not sure which one. Anywho, do a price comparison and go with that online lfs. I like thatfishplace.com the most but you order from which ever you feel has the best prices. Good Luck. P.S. Flourish Excel does not harm any inverts or fish.

I was just looking at the ingredients on the Flourish Comprehensive and it contains a tiny bit of copper 0.0001% I am assuming that little amount is harmless to my snails? I have brigs and MTS.

I am always leery of buying things online unless I know they are a reliable place so thank you for the suggestions :)
 
Yes. That amount of copper is completely harmless to snails.
