Start here and follow the links forward. A good portion of what people
repeat online are old discredited ideas. What works in a fish only isn't
what works in a planted tank.

Balanced nutrients are what work. What balanced is depends on your tank,
water and fish and plant load. Tom may not be the last word on the topic,
but his ideas are based on science and experimentation ..... and they work
better than anything else i've tried. They work for fish too, those of us
with health planted tanks find we have little or no trouble with ich and
other similar fish problems.

What is your experience with fertilizers and CO2? I am currently
experiencing algae on the glass of my tank and leaves.
I think is because water my dosing of fertilizers and CO2 is not the
correct, it is over what it should be. I use liquid CO2 and Tropical
Master GRow.
My tank is a 58G tank that has vals, differen types of swords, dwarf sag,
red ludwiga, and some other plants I can't remember there name. The light
is on for around 10-12 hrs a day.
What doses do you recommend? What can I do to save my plants and get rid
of the alage?

Thanks
