I've read that many people keeping seagrasses use plant food spikes, either solely or in conjunction with an iron suppliment. So, in addition to the iron suppliment I bought from Billsreef, I went to Wal-Mart and bought a 48 pack of Miracle-Gro plant food spikes.
However, after reading the guaranteed analysis on the back, I want to be 100% sure we're talking about the same thing.
In addition to the iron, nitrogen and phosphates (which I would expect) I see 0.05% chelated copper! :eek2: Now, granted, I have no earthly idea how much copper that ammounts to and I do understand that copper is a trace element in salt water. Heck, it's even listed on the back of B-Ionic. What concerns me is that I just spent over $100 on gorgonia and have other corals in the tank along with snails, hermits, crabs and a cleaner shrimp. I plan on increasing the total number of invertibrates over the next few months. I currently have approx. $300 in inverts alone.
Do I REALLY want to add this to the tank?
