I have just set up my first properly planted tank with latralite based substrate covered with a shallow layer of gravel, i am also using the Sera tablet CO2 system but i think it may not be providing enough co2. what fertz/addatives would you reccomend to add to the water regularly? current water params are as follows.

ammonia = 0
nitrite = 0
nitrate = <5
gh = 10
kh = 3
ph = 7.2

Most of use use the SeaChem System. The link is posted below. When fertilizing the plants its a matter of getting the right amount of both micro and macro nutrients into the water for the plants along with some sort of CO2 either be it from a gas or you can use SeaChems EXCEL which does basically the same thing.
