Something Else?

[phoenixkiller]

I have (And will get) a whole bunch of plants. I am going to get Dwarf Water Lettuce and Brazilian Pennywort, and I know these plants need fertilizers and medium lighting. I want to get Seachem Flourish, but I was wondering if I need to get another product in conjunction with Flourish. Any ideas?

P.S. I am quite new to planted tanks, so cut me some slack lol.

I would start with flourish and see how it goes. You may benefit from some extra N a/o K dosing down the road, but for now, you might be ok. Just keep an eye on your nitrates and make sure they are not bottoming out.

Have you considered CO2?

CO2 is a bit much for me right now, I am not going for high tech. I have considered it, but frankly, I don't have money sitting around.

Sorry if I seem a bit silly, but what is what is N a/o K?

Nitrogen and potassium.
