Hi Phil,

I'm not sure what you mean by "mixed system" in this context.  Do you mean 
CO2 instead of using Excel?  While Excel is better than nothing as a carbon 
source, even Greg Morin will freely admit that it can't compare with 
supplemental CO2.  All of the rest of the Seachem products are completely 
compatible with a CO2 supplemented system.  (in fact, I suspect that it is 
the rare non-CO2 suplemented tank that NEEDS NPK supplementation)

I use Flourish Nitrate and Flourish Phosphate.  I've tried Flourish Flourish 
(for lack of a better term<g>) in the past, but I'm used to Tropica 
Mastergrow, have used it for probably 15 years, and am used to how it works 
with my particular water conditions.  I know many people love the Seachem 
product, and there is no reason it shouldn't work very well.  But it would 
take more "tweaking" than I feel like doing, when I have another product I'm 
very happy with.  Besides, Tropica does just as much for our hobby, and I 
like supporting their efforts too. ;-)

As I mentioned before, I've never felt the need to supplement extra K, and 
TMG seems to be balanced well enough that I've never needed to even try 
Flourish Iron or Trace.

Karen
