Question Help with what ferts i need.


i have a 125 im about to plant. all i have left to get is a solenoid, ferts, and substrate. im going to get some soilmaster locally. i just need help on what specific ferts i need, and where to get them. i have looked through the stickies and they got me started but i would like to go ahead and order what i need and learn more as i have time. so, can someone tell me what specific dry fertz i need, and where i can order them besides rex? it would be nice if i could also order a solenoid at the same time. also, my tank has 10 piranha in it that make about 20 ppm nitrate every 2-3 days in a bare tank, which will go up once i plant it. is it necessary for me to dose nitrates? 2.2wpg with pressurized co2 by the way. thanks very much

Look at this link. He sells dry fertizliers. He also has a short article to tell you what you need, why, and how to use it. Look on the list at the right and choose your topic. He is a little brash but the info. is there none-the-less.
