I am planning to add pressurized CO2 to my 55 (230W, 165W running) this weekend and I believe I'll need to add ferts at the same time. I want to go the dry route and am just looking for suggestions on what to get from rexgrigg. Tank currently has some vals, sprites, hygro, and a purple plant that I traded for, but forgot the name of. Of course, I'm also growing algae quite well right now.
 
The purple plant is Alternanthera reineckii.

Fertilizer Combo Pack is probably your best bet.
 
K2S04
KN03
KH2P04
CSM+B Plantex or a Chelate mix
Maybe a GH Booster depending on your source water. Either Grumpy's or Barr's.

EDIT: Congratulations and welcome to the dark side.:)

Have a look at

Slightly more user friendly system.


They ship faster, you don't have to send any kind of email, and you don't have to worry about whether or not you've done the math right on your purchase(credit card or otherwise).

LOL, He's not that bad.
Orlando at Green Leaf is really great at customer service, he's always available to answer questions or concerns too.

Thanks folks! I'll check out those links.

Thanks Ice, I copied it down this time.

What size tank would y'all recommend? I already have the system (Red Sea Pro). Am I going to have to get rid of my HOB?
 
Biggest that will fit where you want it.

I've heard 20 lbs lasts a year 10 lbs 6 months.
