Umm, so where do you live?

You can have some of mine, but you would have to fly to Finland!

Also, plant ferts are a VERY complicated subject. If you have the standard lighting that your tank came with, odds are you should be ok, without it, although you wont get really great plant growth without higher light and ferts. If you dont want to go the high light, high co2 and ferts, look at the aforementioned Java Moss, Java fern and anubus. You can make great looking tanks with those three and not have to worry about the headache of higher lights.

a bit of iron based fertiliser will definately help. Sera Florena is a good one and I use it in fresh and salt water tanks.

Tropica plant nutrition and seachem flourish are the two best ferts you can get. Get one of those
