I finished planting up my first ever tank yesterday (started on Saturday) and and am now not sure what to do with regards to nutrition. I have been reading lots and its trickling into my intellect but i don't want get things wrong so thought i'd ask you guys first, and until i understand how nutrition works i'm sticking to all in one off the shelf fertilisers. I have some Aqua Nourish & Aqua Carbon from aqua essentials (not sure if i actually need the Aqua carbon with my set up but i have it if i ever need it) which i was planning on using.
35L tank (reckon there's only 30l in tank at best due to substrate and plants)
Amazonia new
11w T5 lamo
Tetratec EX600 filter
Heater
Water has been in the tank for 2 days now. No fish currently in tank. Added mulm from my dad's tank to help cycling.
Plants:
Anubia nana bonzai
Narrow leaf Java fern
Crypt wendii
Crypt...not sure?
Pogostemon helferi
Stem plant unknown
Corkscrew Vallis
Vallis
Christmas moss
Cladophora ball
Not planning on
Should i add these ferts from the word go or is there enough nutrition in the aquasoil to sustain the tank?
Do i need to add any carbon?
Will Aqua nourish be enough? (I don't have the aqua nourish +)
Will 1 25% water change a week be enough?

Cheers in advance.
