Go and buy a bloody laboratory to check the amount of nutrients in my water!!" No, its not realistic is it. Many of those nutrients will be free in your tap water, and you can buy a liquid fertiliser, or 2, to make sure you are adding enough. Plants will also use the Nitrates in your aquarium, which is no bad thing at all. You have got to try to balance the fertiliser with the plants, and it's a bit of a tricky old situation. If you go and drown your aquarium with fertiliser, algae can come a' calling. For instance, Iron content doesn't need to be anymore than 1ppm.
