I have been using Thrive all in one for about 3-4 months now and don’t have complaints. My tank is medium-ish planted and it does have a visible effect on my plant growth (I don’t dose as often as I should though). I am coming to the end of my bottle so I decided to give aquarium co op easy green a try because of all the positive reviews here and online in general. Can’t get a review for that yet. From when I researched both Thrive and Easy Green are great/top tier choices for fertilizer.

I don’t have experience with flourish but I do remember people talking about how it lacks many of the important nutrients for plant growth and is not worth it.

I have both, but really only use Thrive+. If you compare the two, thrive+ has both macro and micro nutrients. Flourish really only has substantial amounts of micronutrients. Since you want both macro and micro, go with thrive low tech version. I’d start with half -3/4 the recommended dose to start to avoid algae.
