As a general rule, you should not change your plant fertilization regime abruptly. Fertilizers from different manufacturers vary slightly in their trace element composition. This can lead to temporary differences in the nutrient content of the water. It is best to make the change in three steps: 1) Reduce the old fertilizer by 1/3 and add 1/3 of the new fertilizer. Wait about 3-4 weeks and observe the reaction of the plants. 2) Reduce the old fertilizer by 2/3 and add 2/3 of the new fertilizer. Wait about 3-4 weeks and observe the reaction of the plants. 3) Stop using the old fertilizer completely and switch to the new fertilizer. It is important to observe the reaction of the plant growth on the one hand and to check the iron content of the water at least twice a week on the other. The value should never fall to 0, but should also not rise above approximately 0.2 mg/l if possible. Short-term peaks should not be taken into account. As a general rule, the measures should be carried out weekly, ideally after a water change. This will achieve better results than shock fertilization at longer intervals.
Yes, that makes sense and is even recommended depending on the type of plants in the aquarium. The JBL 7 balls are intended more for root-consuming plants, as they provide the plants with nutrients via the roots. Fertilization via the water column with JBL Ferropol is generally recommended, as all plants, root-consuming plants less so and stem plants more so, also absorb nutrients via their leaf tissue.
The JBL 7 balls are harmless to shrimp. It should be noted that the common belief regarding shrimp's sensitivity to copper is incorrect. In fact, shrimp actually require copper as a trace element for their blood pigment (hemocyanin). With standard fertilizers, you would have to overdose by about 80-100 times to reach levels of copper that are dangerous for shrimp. The situation is different with copper-based medications or algae control agents, as these are used in much higher doses.
