I think the "Plus" stuff is all that's out there. The micros included
are: Iron (0.10%), Manganese (0.05%), and Zinc (0.05%). I don't think any
of these are going to cause problems considering the smallness of the dose
involved --- I've been pushing it lately with 6 drops, but about 2-3 drops
per week in my 20 gallon seems to be plenty and my tap/change water is
virtually devoid of phosphates, so one could probably get by with less
Schultz fertilizer if some PO4 is already present.

Yep...N - P - K. The numbers are percentages.
