All plants seem to be able to take in nutrients from the foliar and root sources.

So, based on that, adding nutrients to both locations will yield the best results.

Tropica Master Grow is the best product I've used, followed by Seachem's Flourish and Sera.

I'll have a new dry mix trace out this summer, it'll have the best chelators on the market and is based on Rice research(Rice is an aquatic grass after all), about 20 different species of aquatic plant elemental composition %'s and what has yielded the best practical ranges for aquarist.

It'll be about 10X or more cheaper than any of the commercial brands and be sold in the dry powdered form. It'll also have the best chelators for both soft and harder waters, fast uptake and slower uptake transport etc and a wide range of the best chelators not merely for Fe, but for all the trace metals.

The ratio is about 25% weak to 75% strong chelator.

It'll be about 50$ a pound and will make 50 liters. 5 liters of TMG cost 69.99$ plus shipping for 10lbs, so the cost is more than 10x less.

I have to try out my creation and test it first though.
Greg Watson will sell it and I'll also sell some to Aquaessentials if they are interested(I'd imagine they would be given the reduced shipping cost and obvious benefits).
