WHAT TO USE
I covered the reasons behind 'why bother to add fertilisers?' in this section. If you are looking to support good plant growth, the minimum combination that one should add into a tank on a regular basis is Potassium, Iron & Trace elements. (K, Fe + Traces), as these elements are fundamentally missing or insufficient in most tanks.
A far better, more comprehensive combination would include Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Magnesium, Iron & Trace elements (NPK, Mg, Fe + Traces).
For many years, I bought a combination of off-the-shelf ferts to meet this ideal combination. This formula, "APT Complete" is now available for sale, details here.

I supplement APT Complete with root tabs from the following brands. If you do buy the products through the Amazon links below, I do earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you), which helps in the running of this website.
