Is there a best all-in-one liquid fertilizer for the planted aquarium?

Liquid fertilizer is such a helpful component of keeping a lush planted tank. It’s also a topic that a lot of my clients are confused about or lack confidence in. My advice to everyone is to pick an all-in-one liquid fertilizer versus trying to dose each chemical element separately.

I’ll leave a few product recommendations below if you just want to pick one and follow the directions.

If you’re interested in learning more about liquid fertilizer, why it’s important and all the nuances that go into picking the right one for your tank, then check out a video I made on the topic - A comprehensive guide to liquid fertilizers in the planted aquarium.
