Easy to use and seems safe for shrimp.
By Demeter on Jun 29, 2020 Top 1000 Contributor
I bought this along with 3 Seachem products to really give my plants a boost. I was only using the 3 Seachem (Trace, Advance, Flourish) in my planted tanks and then my shrimp tank started having molting issues. I stopped the Seachem and switched to Leaf Zone and so far so good! All plants are doing well.

Worked for me
By Naki on Feb 26, 2020
I had a Java plant that was rapidly declining and when I started using this it helped. I wouldn't say that it's helping very much, it's not all that my plant needs, but it stopped it from dying so I'm happy with it.

Don't waste your money!!!!
By RipOff on Feb 7, 2019
This product only has 2 ingredients and are minimal to what your plants really need. If you think this stuff is working on your plants your wrong, it’s your fish poop that’s doing all the work. Do your plants a favor and buy Seachem flourish and your plants will thank you.

This is a great plant fertilizer
By CSayger on Mar 5, 2019
This is a great product, I've used it for years for my planted tank. It fertilizes the plants but doesn't cause algae growth.

Makes Plants Grow FAST!
By chloelane on Nov 3, 2018
This stuff WORKS! I have a 5 gallon low-tech heavily planted nano aquarium. With no CO2 and a pretty basic full spectrum light, my plants flourish thanks to API Leaf Zone. I add it once a week and literally the next day my anubias and banana plant sprout a new leaf. Would highly recommend.

It seems to do what it says
By Moondancers on Aug 1, 2018 Top 50 Contributor
I will know more in a few months after using this product more but so far it seems to be working. Does not seem to tint the water like other products I have used. I love the easy measure cap, it makes it easy to get the perfect amount each time you use the product. I currently use this once a week. Does not seem to affect the water levels or the fish.

Really helps with plant growth
By Mufy on Oct 6, 2017
I got this product 1-2 weeks ago and already some plants that were pretty much stagnant in my 30 gal pond (Pickerdilly weed, anubias, taro, other things from nature) started showing some growth. The pickerdilly has shot up 2 stems, the taro's new leaves are dark purple, my watercress is showing new growth. The anacharis is kind of crapping out though- read that this product may have adverse effects on it. I'm using this in combo with Seachem Flourish Excel, which is probably doing a part in the new growth too!
