Me? Nope. But I've heard that some aquatic gardener in South
America does use such substrate fertilzer in a plant tank
exposed to sunlight simply because the other types are
unavailable locally. Good result. If I got one, I'd experiment
it in a small tank to see if it stirs up algae. Personally my
fertilizer is Tetra Hilena Crypto 1-0-25. Beside N-P-K,
magnesium, which is especially lacking in home aquaria,
shouldn't be overlooked.
