Before I do start I just want to say that my tank has been off recently and planning on getting every test kit I can ( learned the hard way why I should test so I plan on doing so) once they come in stock at my lfs(phosphate, nitrate Hanna checkers and any trace elements I can find at the time), I believe my lfs only carries brightwell, Red Sea, and aquaforest products which isn’t a bad thing but I don’t have a clue which to choose and stick with.
And yes, I do test before I add anything
with that said, I recently have been running out of brightwell two part that my legs recommended and have been doing fine with and I was getting curious on which brand additive I should stick with or change to, brightwell, Red Sea, or aquaforest. I just want peoples opinions on which of these three brands is the best for a Red Sea max nano and I did think about sticking with the Red Sea brand because of the tank but again I’m not too sure, I haven’t done extensive research mostly due to school projects and assignments, I do know that there isn’t such a thing called the best brand, and I also know that these three brands are all really good no matter which path I stick with but I want to see which is the best for a small tank like mine, I also want to ask what parameters my tank should be at for a mixed aquarium.( I’m aiming for a mixed aquarium with maybe 5 fish at max with good filtration and water change schedule).
Again not trying to provoke anyone that uses these brands because it feels like a hot topic to touch on IMO, so I’m really not trying to put a brand down over the other if anyone does feels that way
I might have overthought about what I said so if something I said was confusing feel free to ask cuz I tend to do it a lot
