GLA’s new micro fertilizer is a game changer!
This stuff is way better than Plantex CSM. Perfect ratios all around and mixes perfectly, no residue! My plants are loving this new micro, thanks GLA!

The best micros!
Recently switched from the old GLA micros to this 3 months ago, wow! My greens have never been so green and I easily trim my tank twice as much now, thats my only complaint. You have ot be ready to when the plants respond. My plants started to grow much much faster since switching up my micros routine. I also started weekly water changes to help kick my tank into gear. This bag goes a very long way and cost a fraction of what a liquid option cost. I feel this works better for my tank because of the DTPA now that I use RO and GH Booster. 4 months and I barely made a dent into the bag. Loving this!
