Help with plants

[Dallascowboys16]

Hi guys! I'm not new to plants but have only had success with lowlight plants and want to get into medium light plants. Right now the lights I have won't be enough and I am purchasing a 164 watt fixture and just want some pointers on ferts and stuff like that. My substrate is eco complete and I am running co2. Thanks in advance!

With high lights and CO2 you need to get dry ferts. Here is a link to a complete package of macro and micro ferts... Micro & Macro | Aquarium Fertilizer | Green Leaf Aquariums

Here are the dosing bottles that work great. I always suggest getting 3 and mixing nitrates in one bottle, phosphates and potassium in another bottle, and micros in the third bottle... Fertilizer Dispenser | 1000 mL (32 oz) | Green Leaf Aquariums

Here is a good thread on dosing PPS-Pro which is very easy. You only need to read the opening post which has the fert amounts and mixing info you'd need... Newbie Guide to PPS-Pro - PPS Analysis and Feedback - Aquatic Plant Central

A dry fert package will last approx. one year in my 220g.
