Mike: Hey everyone how are you doing? You have Mike and Sierra here
and today we are going to be talking a little bit about Thrive.
Sierra: Yeah so this is a planted tank fertilizer, it's super concentrated,
all in one and it's something
that we have been using for pretty much...
Mike: Probably for, since we started our planted tanks. We had
a little space where we were using a different dosing method,
PPS-Pro. But that was just
way up there and we were still
way down here. So this here kind of brought us down on the
same level. This gave us amazing results in
our tanks, do you not agree? Sierra: Yeah,
so we've been using this is both our tanks, our planted tanks, well really all of them, anything
we have plants in we have been using this product.
And, the reason for that is pretty simple.
We were using 4 or 5 different products before
to do the same job this one was doing and it
just wasn't even as effective. Mike: No,
that's not to mention the price tag of like $15-$20 a bottle
and when you need five of those, that's,
we're looking at $150. I can get like, I don't know,
4 or 5 bottles of this for that price.
It's just not...it wasn't practical for us to
continue doing it the way we were doing.
Sierra: Yeah and some people will dose
aquarium fertilizers dry, in which case we just aren't comfortable doing that just yet.
We are still fairly new to the planted tank game and
I mean even if you wanted to, even if you are advanced,
this is just a little bit easier. It's already
mixed for you and ready to go. Mike: Yeah, definitely going
to be cheaper too, cause you are going to need test kits and everything. It
really takes an expert to look at a plant and go okay there's no deficiencies here and
that's definitely not me. I'm still learning. And, yeah by
using a good fertilizer,
it pretty much takes a lot of the guess work out of it.
So, they do have a couple different fertilizers so me and Sierra are going to
explain the difference between the 3 fertilizers that they have.
Maybe even give you a little inside secret that there's a new one coming.
Sierra: Yeah so to start off with
this is just the classic Thrive. It's basically
useful for any planted tank. It doesn't matter what your PH is
this one...MIke: this one you can still use it.
So this here is just your regular Thrive.
So your Thrive+ is going to be a little bit different.
It's more desgined for your high tech planted tanks,
so it's more suited for a lower PH under 7
and It comes with a little bit of extra stuff like a little bit of extra iron
Sierra: And then you also get
some nitrogen in inorganic and
organic form which is a little
bit different than regular Thrive.
Mike: There we go, yeah exactly.
So the next Thrive that
we are going to talk about is the Thrive S
and that's going to be the Thrive for shrimps.
Sierra: Yeah so that one is specially designed with shrimp tanks in mind.
So if your main focus of the tank is shrimps this one is definitely
a good alternative.
Basically it doesn't increase your need to do
extra maintenance above regular water changes or large
volume, regular water changes
where in a shrimp tank you may not be doing a 50% water change every week \,
where at least according
to the directions on some of these,
depending on your situation, you may need to do
a 50% weekly water change.
Mike: Yeah so I guess a question we can knock out right now, one
that I see a lot of in the forums, quite a bit,
Is it safe to use just regular
Thrive with my shrimp and
if so, why do you make a special
one just for shrimp?
And that's what Sierra was getting at right here.
It's just so you can go a little bit longer without a water change
than you could with the normal Thrive.
Sierra: Yeah now the
regular Thrive and Thrive+ contain copper, but in very trace amounts.
So little that it's really not going to cause any harm
or anything like that to your shrimp.
Even very sensitive shrimp should be just fine
with either the classic
or Thrive+ Mike: Yeah and if you do go
look at the FAQ's on the website
you will also see a calculator there which calculates
the toxicity of copper with your shrimp.
and you could actually do a reading and see
if your shrimp are in a safe level or not.
But like I said, this is not going to cause you any issues.
I have shrimp in all my tanks that I have been using Thrive in
and I have populations that are just exploding,
so it hasn't killed any of my shrimp.
Sierra: Yeah so ThriveS is more just where
your shrimp are your main focus
of your tank and of course that one
doesn't contain any copper at all so if
it really makes you feel better it is an option.
Mike: So another one that is actually coming here, I'll grab the bottle here
it's not going to be the finished bottle but
there is a new formula that
we have been trying out, so have quite a few other people.
This here is made for low-tech tanks
especially with a form of carbon in it.
Sierra: Yeah so basically
liquid carbon is added in. Now some products
will do this, like Excel where they have liquid carbon additives
in the form of glutaraldehyde.
Those are not for everyone
so this one here is not using any glutaraldehyde
and it's a good alternative.
Mike: Yeah and I have been using it in my tank
and I know I always keep saying this but
my moss is like so
dark green it's just like
forest green and it
was green before but
it really took a couple shades difference after I started using this
for a couple weeks and the plant growth has been phenomenal.
I definitely have no complaints. Sierra: Yeah so we're really happy
with this product and it's definitely a winner and
it's going to be available soon
so guys keep an eye out for that one because it's amazing.
We aren't using it in our high-tech tank here but we are using it in the tank to the left here
which we'll get a clip of.
Mike: Our shrimp tank and you guys have all seen this tank before so.
So, once again
the dosing with this product here
is just absolutely, just silly easy.
All you have to do is give it a couple pumps and this one here says
1 pump per 10 gallons. You can't get any easier than that.
Like I said, mixing up all this stuff it's okay for some people.
Sierra: And using all these different products
and some of them the dosing on it...
it was tricky. So this makes it
so much easier. You don't really have to put too much thought into it,
the simplest thing is just remembering to dose.
So I want you guys to take a quick peek
over at the NilocG website
cause he does not just carry Thrive. He does dry ferts, dry mixes
as well as some CO2 equipment. The
CO2 equipment we have in our tank here came from NilocG
Sierra: Yeah so there's all kinds of planted tank
stuff and gear and accessories
and so far we have been really happy with everything we got from there so it's definitely worth checking out.
Mike: Alright so I hope this video here has helped
you out if you did have any questions about Thrive.
If you do have any more questions you can leave them down in the comments
down below and we will try to help you out as best as we possibly can.
If you are looking to get this stuff I will show you guys a list of
of where to buy it here in Canada.
And in the States Sierra: You can go right
to the manufacturer or there's a few other
resellers as well which we will go ahead and put
as many links as we can find down below.
Mike: So I hope you guys enjoyed this video and you guys
have yourself a great day.
Mike: Look at the shrimp trying to get the ram.
He's like get away from my pellet.
hahahaha. Shrimps are awesome.
