Default Fertilizers... What is best?

Hi all...

I've just learnt how to use newsgroups and found this one, so hopefully I
don't bombard you all with questions...

I have been runing my planted tank for about 6 mths now and have gone
through the green water period, the unstable period and now that i am
getting established, I want to start tweaking. My fertilizer is where I
want to start...
I have only used Dupla 24 in conjuntion with Dupla Plant 24 in my aquarium
and I have average results but after resently looking at some of the

planted
aquariums at http://www.aquatic-gardeners.org/ I know there must be
something I am doing wrong... Most of these aquariums use Seachem

Flourish
as there daily fertilizer... Has anyone had experience with this?
If anyone can help, I was wondering should I maybe use half dupla and half
flourish as my daily routine or maybe just go straight over to flourish?

I
have pressurized CO2 on 10hours a day with MH lighting in a 200 litre
aquarium. I really want to see the bubbling oxygen effect I have seen in

a
planted aquarium video...

Thanks all for any advise/help you can give.




I just started using Flourish in my heavily planted tank about 2 weeks ago
along with supplementation Nitrate and Flourish iron. I am noticing a nice
improvement in the appearance of my plants although my plants bubbled nicely
before as well.
