do you have to use fert for your plants
 
so what type should i buy and how much is it and how long does it last
 
which tank are you planning to dose?? whats your lighting?? are you using co2??

You can go with liquid ferts (seachem line- Flourish, Iron, Nitrogen, Potassium, Phosphorus) or you can go the dry route (rex's dry ferts)

If you get liquid then it will cost you around $4-5 per bottle x 5 + s/h = $27-32 (if ordered online)
With dry it will be around $21.05 if you get the combination pack
 
my 20gal. i have t-5 duel bulbs pink and whit, and i have diy Co2
 
wich is better
 
word of caution. it depends on what plants u have and the load of plants. also the wattage because if ur plants arn't going to eat up all the ferts u add, it will just cause algae.

i find that dry ferts are better with high light tanks with co2.

please state ur stats
