Which Substrate fertilizers are the best on the market? are they pretty much all the same? which one would u recommend?

Ideally, a substrate fertilizer contains Potassium Nitrate, Iron and other trace elements.

Recently, (like 3-4 years ago), I switched to using Seachems root tabs. These seem to be very good.

What substrate are you using? Tried eco-complete or flourite?

NOPE i havnt tried anything yet, im new to substrate fertilizers. Ive ony been using Plantamin by tetra, which is a liquid fertilizer.

I have gravel, normal gravel. does that affect the kinda substrate fertilizer i shud use?

Root tabs are easy to use in an established tank. If you are setting up a tank, it is well worth considering the substrate.
