Anything in there that needs special conditions ect ?
 
 
Sorry edit. I'd also like to get some floating plants. I have Water lettuce and Amazon Frogbit in mind, will these be okay, or do they need certain lighting 
 
the floating plants will be ok and they can take over the surface of the tank but only if you let them. Floating plants may also block light from getting to your other plants to so watch out.
 
Would I need to use fertilizers?

I was thinking if I got floaters put them in an area where the plants don't need as much light
 
Frog bit and water lettuce should thrive weather or not you add fertz and they don't need too much light. And water current from filters might push them around a bit which isn't that good for them.
