Another Company's product
There are a lot of aquarium products on the market, and while most of them will work perfectly fine together in the aquarium, some will not. We can't 100% guarantee any product that's not our own, but here's a few quick rules:
- Avoid using products that overlap in function. Either one works and so it's the one you should be using, both work and so it's a waste to use them both, or neither work and you should be looking for a third, better product. In the case of propel™, using multiple iron supplements could lead to an unnecessary buildup of iron in the aquarium.
- Research the products you use carefully. Typically, if a product or medication is volatile enough to react with a plant supplement, the company will mention it on the label or website, or you can call in to check.
- When in doubt, wait a day. While there should not be any interaction between propel™ and another product, leaving 24 hours in between the doses will avoid possible fish stress from rapidly changing water parameters.
Seachem® Products
It's safe to use propel™ alongside any of the other Seachem® or aquavitro® products that are recommended for freshwater planted systems. Keep in mind that not every product that is recommended for freshwater is also recommended for a planted tank - while propel™ will not directly interact with any of the following products, you will obtain he best results in your planted tank by using products intended for plants, like the aquavitro® line of plant supplements.
Here's some Seachem® freshwater products that are Not recommended for planted tanks
| Neutral Regulator® | Alkaline Regulator™ | Arowana Buffer™ |
| Acid Regulator™ | Discus Buffer® | Betta Basics™ |
| Replenish™ | Medications (in water) |
As previously mentioned, it is perfectly fine to use these products alongside each other, but the products listed here are specifically intended for freshwater tanks without plants.
