What kind of ferts do I need to keep plants healthy?

Hi,
This could be a rather complex question as ferts
can be obtained to add specific minerals and compounds
for a specific problem with specific plants.

The "multi-vitamin" approach is probably more appropriate
in your situation, where you have many plants, a gravel
substrate (not laterite, Flourite, or Onyx), and just
want to be sure that the plants have enough nutrients.
In that case one of the liquid "Flourish" or "Tetramin"
brand products would work just fine.

Besure to dose according to the instructions, and
REMEMBER you do not have 15G of water in a 15G tank.
The gravel, rocks, and any other ornaments, displace
some of that water. If you overdose, you are setting
a banquet for algae. Like fish food, you want to only
dose what the plants can use.
