im using root tabs by seachem (flourish) but do i need any other kind n how should i dose them, im runnig a diy co2
Most of those plants are fairly undemanding, except for maybe the ludwigia (depending on sp.) and the dwarf sag. It really depends on what you want to do with the tank.
If you are just trying to keep things green and growing then you may want to dose Seachem's liquid ferts from time to time. If you want tremendous growth and keep more challenging plants then you might need to start into EI dosing or something similar with dry ferts. Even then I think you'd be limited - by your lights - as to what plants you can keep.
Dry ferts are cheaper in the long run if you are going to have this set up for years. I personally use the PPS Pro method with autodosers doing the actual dosing for me.

Fishkeeper88 said:+1 i agree about the use of dry ferts long term.
i recommend black sand if you decide to go this route because not only does it function but it looks great against the green leaves and such. if you do decide you like it i cx recommend the use of a black background as it brings the colors out.
