Works Great
This product adds potassium and iron to the water column and has been my go-to for my low tech tanks over the years. Stem plants thrive and green up with this product by simply following the NPK "rule". Nitrogen is alread generated through the filter's biomedia; Potassium is added through this product; and phosphate is generated as a bi-product of fish food. The Iron in this product does the greening. Note that for heavily rooted plants placed in gravel, you will also need to add root tabs for excellent results.

Like the product packaging wasn't the best
When I got the bottle the liquid was all over the package on the inside. But the product seems to work great.

Arrived on time and was exactly what I ordered. I have a planted fish tank, it's hard to find Leaf Zone in my area. The fact it was on sale was a bonus.

Within one day of applying my plants were greener, within a week they were visibly healthier and growing, a month in I'm trimming them back. It does add a tea color hue to your tank but I like it. 👍 👍

Been using this product over a year and wanted to give it an honest chance, so here’s my honest review! I bought this to help boost the growth of my aquarium plants in my fish tanks. My plants aren’t needy, they’re pretty low maintenance to be honest. I found my plants slowly dying after a week or two of a water change so wanted to try a fertilizer as I don’t have O2 pumping into my tanks. I started using root tabs a few months before, and I really noticed a difference VS not noticing any growth or recovery from dying plants using leaf zone!
