Questions
shrimp & neon tetras
- I have a set-up similar to the one you describe that is very thick, healthy and attractive. I use Flourish, Excel, this pack, their Iron and "Trace". I dose 1ml of Flourish, Excel, and Iron M / W / F. T / R / S I dose 1ml of Excel and iron as well as .5ml of Nitrogen, .5ml of Phosphate and 1.5ml of Potassium. Initially I killed all my inverts with "Trace" at the Seachem recommended dosage but since cutting it (I dose .5ml T / R / S) I've been able to successfully add shrimp and dwarf crayfish.

What size are the bottles and how much does each bottle treat gallon wise?
- Each bottle is 100ml. If your new to the product I would recommend to use the beginner dose chart. Phosphorus: use 2.5ml per 20 gallons, this would equal to 40 doses. I would dose twice a week. Potassium: Use 5ml per 30 gallons, this would equal to 20 doses. I would dose twice a week until color returns to a bright color then use once a week. Nitrogen: Use 2.5ml per 40 gallons, this would equal to 40 doses. I would dose twice a week until the growth returns to a desired level then drop to once a week. The nice thing about this product is that it can be measured via the cap.

Fundamentals Kit (CD-21243) and Enhancer Kit (CD-21244)
- Sorry for the "squishy" answer, but... it depends. The Essentials pack is just that; what everyone, IMO, needs to use. The enhanced pack contains elements already present in Flourish, but this kit is for addressing specific issues; i.e. symptoms of deficiency of any of one or all of these elements. So... unless you test every aspect of your water every day and know exactly (if at all) what nutrients your water lacks, just stick with the "Essential" pack.

Are the Fundamentals and Enhancer kits safe for tanks with fish? I know Flourish Nitrogren would be unsafe, but what about the other other products?
- No problems at all, I use this kit in two of my community tanks with no ill effects on the fish.
