Seachem Thrive

Pros

• I’ve heard that thrive is good!
• I use thrive (shrimp safe) liquid fertilizer once every two weeks. Just two squirts in each of my 10 gallon tanks and it provides the micro and macro nutrients for the plants.
• They require nitrates, constantly. Get a bottle of thrive, and dose the tank twice per week.
• If you want a single fertilizer, don't get Flourish, get a comprehensive fertilizer like easy green or thrive.
• Get a good all-in-one fertilizer like Thrive

• My next favorites are Thrive and Jane Iredale. I like that I can get them in brown. They never smudge, but by the end of the day (and especially the next morning if I was lazy and didn’t take my makeup off) they flake a lot which can be...

• Parent context: I use Thrive+, and I do 1 pump twice a week. I do a 25 - 30% water change weekly. The dosing recommendation on the bottle says 1 pump per 10 gallons, so I’m dosing less than what’s recommended, but if I dose more, I feel...
• Dosing 24ml Thrive+ once per week (have just switched to 8ml/ day) ... I just don't want to excaerbate the algae any further, and I was hoping for experienced eyes to identify something that is staring me in the face.
