Did my Local Fish Store give me good info re: Fertilizing?

[shrike37]

My new plants in my new tank are the following (see tank specs at the bottom):

Java Fern
Java Moss
Bacopa coraliniana
Anubias barteri nana
Water Wisteria
Brazilian Pennywort

I will be getting neon tetras, corys, a pleco, guppies, and a few other fish to "fully" stock my tank over the next two weeks.

I am doing a low-tech setup without CO2 dosing. My local fish store told me that I would need Flourish Tabs for the Java Ferns and Bacopas. I would also need Flourish Potassium, Phosphorus and Trace. If I used those four products, they said I should be good in the fertilizer department.

Is that good information?

Thank you

I'd dose some excel to recommended on the bottle, if there's no carbon u will get algae dosing ferts without co2. The pleco might eat your pants too so I'd watch him aswell but root tabs and flourish etc is a must.

Also don't run your light at full strength if u can dull it down abit then u will get less algae and won't need to dose ferts as much

I would only use Seachem Excel and maybe some root tabs
