You can add a number of acids to your tank and claim is helps chelate iron and most cations better and therefore claim it improves plant uptake, thus growth.
Most of these ideas" etc are good in theory and very poor in practice.
Spend your $ and time pruning and doing the basics(water changes, dosing, making sure the CO2 etc is fine.
These little enhancement products are marketing ploys to get your money, not some "new research" break through.
Once you realize that, every new thing that comes down the pipe is much less "inticing".
You could add peat and claim the same thing.
I could call it a variety of things and cook up some justifcation to get your $.
Work on the basics, NPK, traces, CO2 and good basic maianteance/observation.
That is what will give an Amano tank/plant health, not some miracle additive or his entire line of products.
If the company is not forth coming about how it works and plays the BS game, I'll pound them to death unless they can offer up some sort of proof, justification other than "their word".
This was the same thing that was done with RO's and planted tanks, Heat cables, and lighting/Hormones etc.
A few folks swear by them, but I ain't one of them. No one has done a decent debate on those to convince me or most folks that they are needed or a benefit.
I'll gladly take this product to task as well.
do you have a link to it or ingredients etc?
