Notes:• The Flourish full line is Flourish, Flourish Nitrogen, Flourish Phosphorus, and Flourish Potassium. ADA full line is Brighty Green Nitrogen, Brighty Green Mineral, and Brighty Green K (or Neutral K)
36
• All fertilizers are shrimp safe. None of these contain enough copper to even begin to harm shrimp, and copper is a vital micronutrient for shrimp as their blood is copper-based
37
• It's possible that API Leaf Zone has other nutrients, but I can't substantiate any others from the publicly available documentation
38
• Just because something isn't listed that doesn’t mean it's not there. For example, several fertilizers that don't list sulfur state that their fertilizer is derived in part from sulfate salts
39
• Growth Juice has very sparse information on the concentrations, it's possible that everything is off by an order of magnitude because units of measurement aren't stated
40
• APT presents Mg as MgO, but none of the others seem to. For now, I'm leaving them as stated, with no adjustments, I'll research this more later
41
• APT has made a number of changes to their recipe since the last version, and no longer display the amounts of B, Cu, Mn, Mo, and Zn, therefore, I'm unable to confirm whether those have changed or not at this time
42
• Use your brain. Many of these ferts aren't directly comparable. In particular, don't compare lean ferts to rich ferts, or shrimp ferts to non-shrimp ferts, that would be a False Equivalency fallacy
43
• Brighty Green Nitrogen, Flourish Nitrogen, and Thrive+ all use urea (also called carbamide) instead of nitrate. These should only be used in acidic water, the ammonia causes problems in alkaline water
