So those are the links I copied from another post that is a sticky on this website. I was wondering if someone could recommend a place to get my fertilizers. I am trying to step up from beginner to intermediate and am hoping that someone can help me save time and a lot of trial and error.

I just set up five 10 gallon tanks for bettas. Each betta gets his own "betta mansion." The tanks will be heavily planted and I will be doing a DIY CO2. Each tank has 2 T8 15 watt bulbs for a total of 30 watts which should give me moderate to medium lighting. These are the plants that I am growing in the tanks:

Anacharis
Cabomba
Cryptocorynes (about five different varieties)
Amazon sword compacta
Anubias nana petite
Rotala Rotundifolia
Java ferns

Basically I have little jungles going on. I purchased a substrate fertilizer from:
http://www.aquariumplants.com/AquariumPlants_com_s_own_SUBSTRATE_VITALIZATION_p/fert.htm

But that seems kind of expensive as I would go through 75 pellets in about 3 months. Since I have so many tanks I go through tablet fertilizers quite quickly. They did make improve my plants a good deal.

I assume I will need substrate tables for my Cryptocoyrnes and Amazon swords and then additives for adding to the water column. Could any of you recommend any of the sites from the list I provided at the beginning of this post or know of some other sites that are great to work with?

Thanks in advance,
Adrien

I've ordered twice, now, from aquariumfertilizer.com. Their website is not the prettiest, but they get your order quickly, and ship almost immediately. The prices are good, and the quality is good too. They also provide little "fact stickers" on the bags to help with ID'ing the ferts.
