Buy dry ferts. For the most common ferts you have to dose them from 2 separate containers but most of them can mix. They are called macros and micros. The "trace elements" react with one of the others and need to be dosed separately.
A way to auto inject liquid ferts?

Could you please do me the favor of providing me with a link to exactly what I need. When it comes to ferts I have absolutely no idea what I am looking for. I used to use flourish a bunch of different things from flourish, there excel, iron, etc. I have no idea what to do with dry ferts.
Here is what to dose for high tech tanks with CO2

As for tanks without CO2 I guess you just dose a smaller amount. I do not have CO2 but still need to dose fertilizers and I am still figuring out how much I actually need to dose. I am basing the amount of fertilizers I will use off of how much KNO3 (nitrates) my plants consume every day. I think that would be considered the "estimative index" method of dosing.
