| Just wondering what my options are? I've done a bit of research on the net, but there is so much info to sift through, I thought I'd just ask some of you guys that have been doing this a while. Thanks. | |

| I use Seachem flourish and flourish iron liquid. be sure you have the right lighting for the swords you have. I have naturally planted tanks so I do not use full doses. |

| I use Seachem Plant Tabs in the gravel near the sword's roots and also dose weekly with the liquid Seachem Flourish. | |

| Hagen puts out plant tabs that last for 12 mos and I've seen the results....the LFS in Flower Mound, Rift 2 Reef, carriers them or you can order on-line

| I use RootMedic's root caps, as well as RootMedic's Micro/Macro solutions on my 100G and 10G. I just use Seachem flourish liquid on my other tanks...they are much lower light and not as plant focused. | |

| I used the product Tanya suggested and got REALLY impressive results with my swords. I also have used rootmedic tabs, and like someone suggested earlier, swords need iron. | |

| I put boiled top soil under my sand and dose with flourish excel when I think about it and iron when they need it. |
