I use the Plantex CSM+B mix from aquariumfertilizers.com and occassionally Seachem Flourish when I feel like splurging on a sale of it. Both are packed with the essentials. I used to dose Seachem iron separately, but never noticed a big difference in plant health.

Will Seachem Flourish do the trick alone?

I use CSM+B also and make stock solutions and store in the fridge, I do add extra Fe to the stock solutions although.

Both resources of trace mentioned above are great. As John stated, when the time is right (size of wallet) buy some Flourish.
When your feeling like making your own Brew, buy some CSM+B from here..
Shop online at AquariumFertilizer.com
These guys are great when it comes to fast shiping and no hassle sales. And its very easy to reuse your Flourish bottle for your CSM+B mix.

Pfertz Micros.

I have used Flourish for traces and they work well, I just support Pfertz All the way since they originate from my local club.

I also dose some ADA products like ECA for extra iron and traces in Green gain.
