Este abono me lo recomendó un amigo, y resultó ser una maravilla.Sin embargo quisiera contar mi experiencia de forma breve.Hice mi primer pedido solicitando una unidad del producto y noté que llegó húmeda la caja del empaque y al abrirlo mi decepción fue inmediata al ver que estaba rota la tapa y derramado el producto. Posteriormente al llegar de mi trabajo escribí a atención al cliente y parai alegría me ofrecieron enviar nuevamente el producto. En este último caso llegó íntegro el envase pero roto el dosificador, así que tome el dosificador del primer pedido y quedó funcional.Agradezco la atención al cliente por ayudar en la solución de mi problema, pero antes de despedirme quisiera recomendarles buscar mejorar el embalaje para este producto 🙏

I think this is by far the best product I have used and will continue to use.
From January 12th, January 26, till February 11th!! A month of growth! I even mix some of the solution in a spray bottle and squirt my plants on the bottom shelf.
While there is other factors to take into consideration like CO2 and light. My plants have been growing and phenomenal rate and healthy with the NilocG all in one Fertilizer.Since using this in my tanks my plant growth has exploded and I'm constantly trimming. Great product.
Has worked great on my 16 and 40 gallon high-light, high-tech tanks. Coming from EI method I was a little skeptical; however this stuff has not disappointed. You still have to follow the basics - frequent large water changes, pruning, adjust lights, proper CO2 injection and monitoring - but this stuff works just as good as dosing separate ferts without the hassle. Tanks are 4 months old, I’ll update if anything changes but so far so good!
I haven't noticed a difference in my plants yet, but the dispenser broke within 2 weeks of using the product. I guess I'd better get my measuring spoons and liquid conversion chart ready for the next dose. And just a side note, my plants would be fine if my fish would stop eating them haha
Plants love it!!! First week switching and had a huge growth boom! Plants are full and vibrant. Also shrimp 🍤 approved
Haven’t used it yet but heard good things, it comes with a pump
I really wanted to like this but unfortunately I can’t. It may work for some plants but not mine. After 1 month of using 2 times a week I noticed my plants showing signs of nutrient deficiency. I bought this after using seachem products for a year and ended up going back to flourish, excel, and iron with co2 injection. It just doesn’t seem to have what my plants need unfortunately.
Recieved this today. Unfortunately wasnt able to use it yet as the pump that was sent was broke in half
I’ve heard this stuff is amazing! My nitrates jumped through the roof though and it took a few water changes to lower them (from 80). I’m afraid to dose this stuff now though. I’d definitely dose it half way in future with an actual syringe, not the pumps as they seem off. Be careful if your tank isn’t heavily planted, I thought mine was but apparently not. (20 gallon with 2 swords, 2 val, 1 crypt, lots of little java ferns and a medium piece of mopani wood covered in java moss).Picture is from when I first planted it, plants are much larger now. I’ll update again once I use this stuff a bit longer
I love the convenience of application. I am using it in a new tank set-up. Overall It took a couple weeks to get the grass cover started in aquarium then I added the taller plants and finished filling the aquarium and added the thrive. I added six pumps into my fifty five gallon aquarium and continued that every other day after one week added six black skirted tetras. I continued to add every other day through the third week and then added twenty zebra danio. Now I am on week four and I have cut back the dosage to six squirts every three days. Plants and fish are thriving just as expected and tank is aging as expected. I feel I will stay with this product and continue to reduce the dosing to the frequency suggested on bottle. It is recommended on pump for every ten gallons of water. The amount of times per week is custom to you tank needs and lighting.

I wanted an easy, all-in-one fertilizer for my planted tank while I learned about process itself. The plan was to eventually buy the dry ferts and make my own. I have to say I'm leaning toward continuing with Thrive+. My plants are super healthy and it looks like I'll get a couple months out of a bottle.I've been using Thrive+ since day 1 on a 20 gallon long, in conjunction with 2 Finnex Planted+ lights at max for 9 hrs, CO2 injection and Thrive caps. RO water with Select Salts at 50% water change weekly. I've had excellent growth in every plant I've tried. I have a breeding colony of cherry shrimp that aren't affected at all by it. I'm super happy with all NilocG's products.*Update- I finally ran out of ferts this morning. They lasted me 11 months with a 20 gallon and 7 gallon. I really love this fertilizer!
When I set this tank up 10 days ago the hornwort was as y’all as the pillars in front of it. Now you can see it needs to be trimmed. I know EVERYONE says this, but I’ve never had any luck with planted tanks until I started using this. I will definitely repurchase and it will be added to all of my planted tanks in the future!! I love everything about this product!!!!
Great fertilizer for your planted tank. I wake up in the morning and squirt 1 pump into the tank on my to work, and that's it!Fully planted 15g co2 and daily fertilizer, 2 pairs of breeding rams and breeding group of dwarf rainbowsSorry glass is dirty my rams have a spawn next to the front glass

Questions? We've Got Answers.
Everything you need to know about using Thrive+ in your planted aquarium.
What is Thrive+? +
Thrive+ is a concentrated all-in-one liquid fertilizer for freshwater planted aquariums. It provides essential macro and micronutrients in one formula and is designed for planted tanks with higher nutrient demand.
What types of aquariums is Thrive+ best for? +
Thrive+ is especially well suited to higher-demand planted aquariums, including tanks with strong lighting, CO₂ injection and active plant growth. It is specially formulated for planted aquariums with a pH below 7.
How much Thrive+ should I dose? +
Dose 1 mL of Thrive+ for every 5 gallons of aquarium water.
How often should I dose Thrive+? +
For high-light tanks, dose 1 mL per 5 gallons three times per week. A 50% weekly water change is suggested. For lower-light tanks, dose 1 mL per 5 gallons one to two times per week, with a 20–30% weekly water change suggested.
Can I use Thrive+ if my pH is over 7? +
Yes, but use caution. Thrive+ contains ammonium, and as pH rises above 7, a very small portion of that ammonium can convert to ammonia. In a healthy planted aquarium, the ammonia should be taken up very quickly by the plants. If your pH is above 7, use caution, start slowly and increase your dosing gradually as needed.
What is the difference between Thrive and Thrive+? +
Thrive is our flagship all-in-one fertilizer and is a great choice for a wide range of freshwater planted aquariums. Thrive+ is designed around the greater nutrient demands commonly found in high-tech, high-light and CO₂-injected planted tanks.
Does Thrive+ contain iron? +
Yes. Thrive+ contains 0.65% chelated iron as part of its complete macro and micronutrient formula.
Is Thrive+ safe for shrimp? +
Thrive+ can be used in planted aquariums containing shrimp when dosed as directed. If the aquarium is primarily a shrimp tank, however, ThriveS may be the better fit because it is formulated specifically around the needs and maintenance routines of shrimp-focused planted aquariums.
If Thrive, Thrive+ and ThriveC are safe for shrimp, why do you have ThriveS? +
It comes down to the focus of the aquarium. If shrimp are the primary focus, ThriveS is generally the better choice. Shrimp-focused aquariums benefit from stable water conditions, and water changes are often smaller or less frequent. ThriveS is formulated so regular dosing does not increase the need for water changes beyond normal shrimp-tank maintenance.
Thrive, Thrive+ and ThriveC are also safe for shrimp when used as directed, but those formulas are built around the nutritional demands of the plants and are intended to be used alongside the larger or more frequent water changes common in planted aquariums.
Do I still need root tabs or capsules when using Thrive+? +
It depends on your plants and substrate. Thrive+ supplies nutrients through the water column, while ThriveTabs and ThriveCaps deliver nutrients directly into the substrate. Root-feeding plants can benefit from combining water-column fertilization with root-zone nutrition.
