Has anyone tried these on aquarium plants, to provide iron to the plants ??

I haven't but I would think it would poison the water if there were fish in the tank. Check with your pet shop to see what they suggest......

My plants seemed to do well with only this substrate and no additives. I had Java fern, Java Moss, and some Anubias spp. in my tank with the flourite dark, low light, and 3 fish spp. (goldfish, minnow, and pleco). They grew well and were nice and green for months (until I put my turtle in the tank and he ate them all). That said, I didn't see any extraordinary plant growth during that time. If you are working on an amazing planted aquarium where the focus is plants and you want to see major growth/etc., you may need additional supplements. However, if you are more interested in a nice looking environment for your fish, I doubt you'll need to add anything. My plants seemed to do well with only this substrate and no additives.

Haven't encountered any problems yet. I have a 10 gallon planted aquarium deticated specially for my guppies. I have co2 runnning and seachem fert lines ( excel, iron, flourish, npk). I doze it according to the bottle. So far all my guppies and frys are all happy and healthy.

Not sure it was designed for that use. I have only seen it used for aquariums

No - but they didn't work for our tank. The died pretty quickly and weren't able to help with our snail population. We were disappointed.

Hello, These fixtures were designed for agricultural purposes and come with 6500k lamps. Not sure how well they do or don't work in regard to aquariums. Wish I could help more. Thanks & please remember to shop with Healthy Harvest Florida!

I think you could use them in an aquarium. Never thought of using them for that, myself, but a good idea. I would expect since they are a type of 'rock' they should sink, which would be perfect. Think I will put a couple in my own aquarium!

I use them for that purpose too, but it depends on the requirements of the plant. Look up the recommended balance of nutrients and if they are in line with with a 4-4-4 plant food then they will work.

Unknown. I do know that two of them have grown some soft corals in a ten gallon. I have placed one over a mini fuge and the cheato has gone nuts as well. I haven't tried them on fresh water.

I sell this moss assortment. I am assuming you mean an aquarium without water. Many of my customers have told me that they planted these in an old aquarium, along with other plants and were very happy with the results. The main thing is to keep the moss lightly damp and do not over-water. Also be sure to keep out of direct sunlight.

Yes you can mix the nutrients in the same water and then water your plants. Not sure if that's what you were asking for.

Yes.... I would say not to waste your money on these. They do not hold up tomato plants very well plus they cracked so it wasn't holding the water in the tray. But your experience may be a different one.

it works well with my soft corals so i would think it would benefit your plants

Lorraine, I would say yes. I cant find anywhere that it has any copper or bio-side added but i did find the attached link. Hope this helps. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/aquarium/msg0213001912569.html?11

I have not...not much luck with any growth with pots in them. They look really nice!

I use them only on outdoor potted plants. You have to clean the water container more often, but the water can last more than a week if it rains frequently and less than a week if the weather is dry and hot.

At least ten Assassin Snails in my twenty gallons tank now. My experience is- they're good for eat up pest snails, not much effective for cleaning algae or any kind of residue.
