Nutrafin Plant Grow - Any good?

[Robv1965]

New to the fertilizer thing.

I was trying to get some Seachem Flourish but the LFS did not have any. I ended up buying Nutrafin Plant Grow plus Iron. Is this stuff equivalent? I read some bad reviews on Cichlid-Fourum.

I have a low light tank with just some java fern right now. I've had them for about 2 years and they seem to be doing ok but I think they could be a little healthier. I would also like to add some Anubias and java moss when I finally get my new tank set up.

I could exchange it for some plants and get the Flourish from big Al's.

What do you think?

I have never actually used that fertilizer, but I have not heard anything good about it either. I took a look atthe bottle and if I remember correctly it did not list ingredients which always makes me suspicious. I use Flourish and love it, I would go that route if I were you. But, keep in mind you might need other nutreints in conjunction with any micro nutreint fert to get good plant growth. But, then again with the plants you have it might be necessary at all.

I used it for a bit with good luck but was not cost effective at all.
For a small tank sure use it.
