Beginner Fertiliser Advice, UK based

[Alex Burgess]

I’m a beginner in the aquarium plant keeping hobby, and am aware I need to add fertiliser, however with all the different types out there and being in the UK I’m struggling to find some clear guidance. 

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks

Hi @Alex Burgess welcome to the forum. I'll let others pipe in about fertilizers but I can tell you this: you can have healthy, growing plants with no fertilizers at all when you choose "easy grow" plant types like anubias, java ferns- I've also had luck with ludwigia super red (not as red as fertilized or co2 tanks but still pretty), bacopa caroliniana, red needle leaf, guppy grass, duckweed, amazon swords and there are plenty of others to try!
