Just when I think I have everything setup with my planted tank, I realize there is yet something else to learn. This round, it is Root Feeders and tabs. I would like to drop by a LFS (Petsmart / Petco, etc) and pick some up on the way home and I am looking for some advice on what I should get.

I have a lot of plants in a 72g tank (30+). A bunch of swords and crypts.
 
I can't think of anything better than Flourish Tabs. Of course I am very biased towards Seachem products in general.
 
Found them at Petsmart though on the way home, so all is good...

So now the newbee question.... What exactly should get a root tab? Here are the plants that I have in the tank:

3x Glossostigma (Glossostigma elatinoides)
1x Pennywort, Brazilian (Hydrocotyle Leucocephala)
1x Ludwigia Peruensis (Ludwigia peruensis)
1x Rotala Magenta (Rotala macrandra v. 'narrow leaf')
1x Rotala Indica (Rotala roundifolia)
1x Telanthera Rosefolia (Alternanthera reineckii)
1x Rotalla Wallichii (Rotalla wallichii)
2x CLOVER, FOUR LEAF (Marsilea quadrifolia)
1x Java Moss (Vesicularia Dubyana)
1x Tiger Lotus, Red (Nymphaea zenkeri)
1x Wisteria (Hygrophila difformis)
1x Ludwigia, Narrow Leaf(Ludwigia palustris)
3x Amazon Sword
1x Madagascar lace plant (Aponogeton madagascariensis)
1x Melon Sword (Echinodorus osiris)
1x Aponogeton ulvaceus
1x Cabomba - Green
Lots of Jungle Val
And some unidentified Crypts (I think)

I have had the Val and the unidentified crypts for years before the recent high-tech revolution.

So far, I have stuck tabs under the swords.
