not tryin to knock ya uf,,, i understand you're concentrating on the plant aspact of ap, but adding certain things that might be very good for the plants can quickly kill your fish..
a good natural calcium additive is crushed eggshells
are you using an electric toothbrush, or q-tips or anything to shake the plants? or do you have bugs doing the work?
The wind is a great pollinator too. Do you have any wind there?

There are a lot of calcium fertilizers out there certified organic. Eggshells are not as simple as just throwing them in there... Anyway, I have not looked into it, but are you familiar with any additives in fertilizers that might be unsafe for fish?
