I wouldn't use anything that is intended for terrestrial plant fertilization. I have a lot of stem plants so I'm dosing dry fert's and flourish for trace. Occassionally, I'll use some flourish root tabs for my other plants. This is a sticky from the aquatic plants forum on fertilizer:Fertilizer Recommendations & Info - the Informal FAQ (http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12585)
And if your plants are pearling (bubbling) a few hours after the lights come on, then it's a good thing.:)
