The tank is a 75g. The plants I want are amazon sword Cork Val,java moss,dwarf sag,anubia bart,green hygro. No co2 yet that will come down the line. I am still looking at different fertilzers.

Looking at your plant selection, they should do well with that light and a good substrate. Once the plants are firmly rooted, say in 4 to 6 weeks, consider dosing with "Green Light Stump Remover". The product is potassium nitrate. There are lots of posts on the board for dosage.

Correct me if I'm wrong but most of those that you listed will actually get more nutrients from their roots than from the water column so you might consider root tabs before liquids. Additionally dosing for specific lacking nutrients is better than using a liquid fert. ^_^ [hr width='40%']"Put your soul in the water, And join me for a swim tonight"
