Steve are there any plants you would not recommend using OA plant treatment on? Keeping in mind you have to keep the ph between 6.8 -7.

Can you explain the equation; number of plants = lenght(cm./in.) x depth(cm.in.) over 50(metric)/8(us). ?

Hi,
some pics. Apologise for quality as they are definitely not up to the standard of most of the pics on this forum. Will try again but one thing I can say is I've never seen the water so clear
PS wire on right is used for attaching food for my snail to keep him off plants

Could you use the OA Plant Treatment in a planted tank with no fish in it?

Have you used this product yourself Steve?

Also interested (like platy252) if this product is suitable for use with all aquatic plants?

Where can I find instructions for the OA Plant Treatment, other than buying the product itself, does anyone have these that they can share?

Hi Master Zig,
this any help?

Apart from what it says on there site and the plant stocking equation (that i dont get at all), all it says is 1 ml treats 2.5 litres. Apply weekly.

Hi guys,

Sorry was away and only getting back online now!

Have asked the guys in SA for a bit of clarity on the mysterious plant equation and will keep you posted in that regard.

In so far as which plants can / cannot be kept using OA Plant Treatment, there is no reason why any plants cannot be kept as the pH guideline is there to indicate the parameters within which an algal problem is least likely.

I have used the stuff myself with resounding success, in fact I use it on all the house plants and even in the back garden!

Use a double dose of it if you are trying to encourage a plant back to full health if it has been attacked by a plant nipper such as a Silver Dollar or similar.

The product can be used as a stand alone product without the use of the other OA products and I cannot see why it would not be just as effective in a tank without fish.

If anyone else has any experiences (good or bad!) using Plant Treatment or any other OA products please post here as the more feed back we get the better we can serve!

I will do my best to answer any queries you may have.


Cheers,

Steve

P.S. Feargal- Glad to hear your water is so clear! Dying to see pics!! S

ok i have been following this thread for a while now and still havent really formed any opinion on wether i should try it or not being an old fashioned fishkeeper ie regular maintenance, was going to try it when i saw it in petmania until i worked out the costs involved... thats a heck of a yearly cost considering the amount of tanks i run, whereas a 5 litre of my old faithful easylife costs €60 and treats all my tanks for nearly a year... is there really such need for these prices???, also is it true i heard that if you do not use the oa maintenance kit the water quality crashes??
just a query

Some pics. Quality dire so apologies. Fish very happy

Note from Admin, fixed it to be a link, it was not a link to a photo directly just a page of photos, if you want to show the photos here, do exactly as you did but use the link for each photo you want to display.

Help. Did what it said in the photo section and can see the /img bits but URL is not appearing
