Had to re arange my planted tank, need some fert.tab advice?

Argg-

I had to re-arrange the tank today! I got so tired of looking at a jungle so I changed the tank over to a crypt tank. It consits of 4 large w.red crypts and about 7 medium sized ones.

Others are

1 large Amazon Sword
1 onion plant
1 bunch of bacopa
2 medium java ferns

Floaters are

watter lettuce
riccia

Here is the question at hand...

Can anyone recomend a decent plant substrate fertilizer tablet? I have Jobes and really don't want to add them to the tank for reasons everyone has heard before. I also have Plantabbs.

I was adding 15 drops of PMDD every day and ferting 4 oz of flourish every other day. At water change adding NO3 and K2SO4...

SO far this worked for me, but then I had alot of wisteria(hygro) and anachris. They're gone now... Just grew so darn fast I was always trimming them...ARGGG..

I am running DIY CO2 and change each bottle once a week.

I am running 80 watts of Ultra Daylight over the tank at 1.5 wpg.

Should I continue my previous fert routine? What tabs would one recomend....

Thanks

Thankx


I was thinking the same exact thing. I haven't ferted the roots in over 3 months and they looked great? And I only have a sand base with gravel on top...NO flourite.

I think the sword and crypts are pulling in nutrients thru thier leaves as well.
