Same ferts you would dose for any plants. N, P, K, and micros. All plants use the same building blocks.

Now, how MUCH you need to dose depends on your lighting and CO2.

This used to be my Saltwater 24G JBJ Nano Cube that has 150W HQI lighting. I have a tank for C02.

Where is the best place to get N, P, K, and micros? If I could get help, I wouldnt mind trying the DRY as I know the Pre-made stuff is more expensive.
