what is the best to use? the tabs that you burry in the substrate or the liquid stuff you just put in the aquarium? should i use both?

I use both... Most plants take nutrients from the water column so the liquid ferts work for these plants. If you have plants like Swords & Crypts you will want to use root tabs, these plants feed heavily from their roots.

Do crypts and swords feed heavily from the roots because the water column is insufficient? I was led to believe plants will take nutrients from the water column first as it cuts down on energy loss of having to transfer nutrients through thte plant.
