Hello

I am using a pair of dosing pumps to ad your Flourish products to my planted aquarium.

Question: Is there any problem in mixing the macro nutrients - Potassium, Nitrogen and Phosphorus - in one bottle, for dosing trough one pump? Do they harm or equalise each other when mixed together in the native high concentration? I plan to do the same for the micro nutrients - trace and iron - in one bottle. Any problem with trace and iron together?

We do not recommend mixing the plant products
together in order to dose. This is not becuase they will
be harmful when combined, but because we cannot guarantee that some chemical reaction will not occur and possibly render one or more products useless. If you choose to mix anyway, do
not mix Flourish Iron or Flourish Phosphorus with other
products. Flourish Phosphorus will bind to various substances and precipitate them out. Flourish Trace and Flourish should be dosed on opposite days from eachother as they contain some of the same compounds. Flourish Iron should also be dosed on a
different day than Flourish because you want to make sure not to overdose iron. For best results from our products we recommend dosing them separately as they are intended.
