For dry ferts I ordered
-ferrous gluconate
-magnesium sulfate
-potassium sulfate
-iron chelate 13
-potassium phosphate(mono potassium)
-RootMedic complete capsules
-plantex CSM + boron
-potassium nitrate

I ordered all the basic nutrients and want to get myself familiarized with the effects of each supplement and once I get this to perfection I will then sell my 210g for a 150g open top euro brace tank and really take it to the next level for a planted tank. But here is a start. ImageUploadedByMonsterAquariaNetwork1364061422.000699.jpg

I use dry salts, I just place them into the tank (There is no point in mixing them in water first, there really isn't since fish will ignore the salts anyways).

As far as what to use and when, I just follow the EI schedule. I don't have it memorized sadly, but I'm sure you can find it online somewhere. Do your un co2?

Also, an aside, what plant is that growing on your driftwood? It kinda looks like blyxa but is that even possible?
