Apparently I suck at searching...


This is a 75 gallon tank with a gravel substate. I am getting this light... http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3733+13822+16770&pcatid=16770 with the 54 W 10,000°K T-5 and 54 W Freshwater T-5. so 108 W total.

I am not using CO2. I only want to have like an amazon sword, java fern, java moss, and like water sprite.

So how do a use fertilizer? Do I even need it for these plants? if so... do I just buy **** from the store or stuff online? I am completely lost on the fertilzer thing.

Thanks for the help and sorry for being a pain in the ass. It is just a competely new thing for me even though I have been keeping fish for 8 years. never had live plants
 
I setup and planted tank without c02 as well a while back. Since then I've sort of shut down the planted side of the tank but there are still plants living. I used to used seachem flourish as a liquid ferts and now I don't growth rate is tiny in comparison, the benefits are clear.
