Brightwell Aquatics Shrimp FlorinMulti Freshwater Plant Supplement 500ml

Honestly, this is working very well for my planted shrimp tanks. I'm seeing far better results than other well known fertilizers ,and I'm using about 3/4 of the recommended strength. It's an excellent product.

Used for plants in my shrimp tank , plants look greener and shrimp are happy

I was trying to avoid aquarium water column fertilizers. Instead, I was relying on fish poop, and letting root tabs do the work. Then I got aquatic isopods. Disturbing the substrate and adding API root tabs which release ammonia etc. I think that killed a number of them. And frankly, you can't grow stem plants will with just root tabs either. You're going to need full water fertilizers if you have stem plants... Anything besides crypts, valisnaria, Amazon swords, etc.I found that the Brightwell approach of leaving out the nitrate and phosphate in this product is the correct approach.This product will probably get you enough potassium, and also all the micros that you need when used as directed or even maybe a little less frequently. If you are running co2, you're probably going to need a potassium test kit. I do have one of those, made by salifert. It seems to work very well, it has a number of steps but it doesn't take all that long. The API nitrate test kit takes longer. Seachem tests are a lot faster and easier than API for nitrate and phosphate.Basically, if you want to run a heavily plan to take properly, whether it's low tech or high tech, I think you do need to every week or so at least, measure each macronutrient. As fish load changes, you'll have more or less nitrates. I found I was deficient in nitrate at one time, and then I've been having to add phosphate fairly aggressively for a couple weeks now. Apparently some of the aqua soils can sequester phosphate I hear.If you just buy an all-in-one fertilizer, you may be overdosing nitrate under dosing something etc. If you want to run it properly and you really care about your aquarium, get the test kits, get this fertilizer so you don't hurt Crustaceans you may care about due to the lack of copper, and pick up some phosphate and nitrate. As your aquariums eventually change, you'll be able to keep your plans healthy over time without stressing your inhabitants, and since none of your nutrients will be completely out of whack, you won't get algae blooms either.Little secret: if your tank is heavily planted enough, you can have a decent amount of each of the macronutrients in the water column, and algae won't grow. Why? Because the plants are monopolizing the co2. They'll use the CO2 as it's available. And out compete the algae.I've had problems with bSeschem excel (trace) killing some of my aquatic isopods, sensitive inverts, I've never had a problem with Brightwell products. I would recommend their nitrate over seachem because see Kim has some ammonia derivative in there. Either is fine for phosphate however.Hope all this helps if you're somewhat struggling with fertilizers!Once you get used to the pump mechanism, it really is the easiest way to go. It does take a little bit getting used to if you come from using the Caps or drops. The drops if your fertilizer has a drop of dropper bottle and you have a small tank, or a flip cap, that is the second easiest method to apply.Also, you can dose, dump dose phosphate, and nitrate, and potassium actually. Just be careful with the micros though. Potassium only in a big dose if you have a standalone potassium. You can ask chat GPT or something for more advice.Really only need to do a water change every few months. Every month, whatever is comfortable for you. It doesn't have to be every week or multiple times a week if you have a healthy tank and all these macronutrients are balanced and in safe ranges. After all, the plants will use the nitrate produced via the fish and the fish food if you feed a sane amount and have enough plants. That's one of the reasons why the test kits are important. There's really no way for you to know what's going on with these critical nutrients which can accumulate in unsafe levels. Otherwise, you have to do frequent water changes to be safe. You're not going to test, do the water changes dose the fertilizers as directed. If you're going to test, you'll know what you need to do.

Great for plants, safe for shrimp and snails. Clear water, great price, no smell.

Seems good but the pump just leaks constantly

This product has helped me have a healthy planted aquarium. The plants are hardy and healthy.

Bad manufacturing means leaks and only receiving a partial product. It doesn't matter how effective it is if I only receive half of what I paid for.

Brightwell Aquatics Shrimp FlorinMulti works really well to keep live plants healthy without harming shrimp or other inverts. It provides a balanced mix of nutrients, and I’ve noticed stronger growth and greener leaves since using it. Easy to dose, clear instructions, and shrimp-safe—perfect for planted shrimp aquariums.
