Only been into this hobby for 2 months so still learning.
I have a 120L tank with:
Echinodorus "Jaguar"
Cryptocoryne Wendtii "Mi Oya"
Anubias Nana
Vallisneria Spiralis
Valisneria americana
Microsorum pteropus "Windelov"
Cabomba caroliniana
Bacopa caroliniana
Eustaralis stellata
Plus some other new ones that i have no idea on the names.
I have a 30w T8 light, no CO2.
Initially i filled the tank to around 2cm of rough gravel substrate, after learning a little more i realised that this would not be good for my Corydoras, so bought some finer gravel more like very rough sand.
As i had fish inside i didn't remove the old gravel i just pored the new gravel/sand on top.
That's my substrate
For around 4 weeks now i have been dosing 5ml of Kent Freshwater plant and Kent Freshwater Pro Plant once a week.

After reading various reports i bought some 4 days ago and am dosing 5ml daily of that.
I also bought some Seachem Flourish tabs
http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/index.p ... cts_id=308
My admittedly very limited understanding is that some pants take their nutrients from their leaves others from their roots.
Is this correct?
If so which plants need the tabs more than the others?
If not could someone please explain or point to towards a source that explains why not.
Cheers
Mark
