Product Ingredients
Tetra Hilena Initial Use: in the substrate it is an iron and nutrient source for overall plant health and growth. Use when initially setting up the tank."  they are not laterite, but more of a clay substance. Analysis is as follows: Total nitrogen = 1%; water soluble nitrogen = 0.5%, soluble potash = 25%. Derived from : Total nitrogen from Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and water soluble nitrogen from Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid iron salt. Soluble potash from potassium sulfate.
Tetra FloraPride Use: in the water tetra FloraPride is a liquid fertilizer for leaves and stems  Iron and Potassium Analysis: Soluble potash = 3%, Iron = .02%, derived from potassium sulfate and ferric sulfate.
Tetra Hilena Crypto Use: in the substrate tetra Hilena Crypto promotes the growth of roots. Should be used when initially setting up tank and whenever a water change is done, as per instructions Analysis is: Minimum Total Nitrogen = 1.35%, Min. Phosphoric Acid = 0.00%, Minimum Soluble Potash = 18.00%.
Hagen Plant Grow for Aquariums Use: in the water  NPK: 0.3 - 0.08 - 0.8 
Total Nitrogen (N) - 0.3% Total Phosphorus (P) - 0.08% Total Potassium (K) - 0.8% Magnesium (Mg) - 0.012% Sulfur (S) - 0.020% Iron (Fe) - 0.0085%
Plant Grow for Pond Use (Laguna) Use: in water NPK: 0.26 - 0 - 4.3 
Total Nitrogen (N) - 0.26% Total Potassium (K) - 4.3% Sulfur (S) - 0.015% Boron (B) - 0.006% Chloride (Cl) - 3.9% Iron (Fe) - 0.3% Manganese (Mn) - 0.025% Molybdenum (Mo) - 0.002% Zinc (Zn) - 0.004% 
FloraSan Use: in the water dosage: For all freshwater aquariums, begin with one capful per 25 gallons, once per week. Slowly increase the dosage to a maximum of one capful per 5 gallons for heavily planted, "Dutch" type aquariums. Use one capful per 10 gallons, maximum, for sparsely planted aquariums. You will notice improved coloring and growth in plants and fish. If algae growth increases, reduce dosage. May be used in conjunction with, or instead of laterite clays Guaranteed Analysis: Organic compounds, EDTA, humic acids 785 ppm. Macro elements - Fe 175 ppm, Mn 110 ppm, Zn 50 ppm, B 40 ppm, K 30 ppm. Anions - SO4 275 ppm, Cl 45 ppm. Micro elements - Co 5 ppm, Cu 3 ppm, Mo 2 ppm, I 1 ppm. Plus - organic extracts that promote growth and vitality in plants.
