Plants

[Tetramad]

Hello,
Do I really need to feed my plants or do they get enough food from the tank ie. nitrates etc?. If I do then please recomend one available in the UK. I have nothing fancy, just a 90ltr community aquarium with the most popular plants (can`t remember their names)

Thanks, Mark.

Adding ferts is generally unecessary unless you have lots of lighting/CO2 producing fast growth. Fish food/waste and tap water contains most if not all of the nutrients required. If your plants are doing ok then there's no need to bother, adding ferts when not needed can cause more problems than solutions i.e. algae.

I'll second that.
