Aquatic fertiliser? Something LFS's have?

Lighting isnt an issue, one of the tanks I have a problem with gets 3-4 hours direct sunlight, plus the rest of the day sitting right infront of a window with no curtains. The other tank has a mini forest in it before with same lighting.

all half decent LFS will have plant food!
i reccomend "seachem Flourish" as it only takes 1-2ml per 100lt once a week.

cheers

I recomend and use aquasonic hydrogrow tablets they are a once a week dose and find it easy as no measuring required they also contain Iron.
