This is the new best DIY dry fertilizer available.
Kudos to GLA for finally making a real dry fert mix for us. For decades all we had was Plantex and individual salts we had to math up to make the solutions. Not only is this a superior micro mix but you made it easy to mix macros at the same time. This is an absolute game changer in the hobby. My aquascapes are gleaming with growth. I’ll be buying this from now on.

This is incredible.
Was completely blown away when I saw this and had to look at it three times to make sure st what I was seeing. GLA always had Ei dry and PPS-Pro kits for decades. Came to refill and saw this. First off, this isn’t Plantex CSM everybody is selling, totally different formula tailored for aquarium plants vs farming. I’ve used Plantex for years but never really liked using it to much due to its concentration of everything. Copper was always high, to much heavy metals and not the ideal iron source. These salts are aimed at PPS and Ei to perfection. They laid everything out for easy mixing. We can now mix our own highly concentrated Ei dosing system without all the BS you don’t need. Nobody is doing this and all the sudden GLA knocked it out of the park and delivering exactly what we hobbyist WANT! Thank you GLA and team, simply incredible. Made my first batch two weeks ago and everything is growing phenomenally for pennies on the dollar.
