OK... I have 55g tanks and 10g tanks,... all planted. I would love the
information and where I can get cheap fertilizers without the high cost of
shipping and handling ($18 per order). Potassium nitrate is not available
in my area.

Do you know a good online place to buy hydroponic fertilizers? I can't
find
anywhere local that sells the stuff.
http://gregwatson.com
======
I've already checked out that site last time. 1 lb of Potassium Nitrate from
Greg is $12.08 w/S&H charges. I can get a 4 lb bag of Muriate of Potash
for $1.49 locally. I believe this has been discussed here before. I didn't
see any mixes there that contained all the "micronutrients."

Not aquarium fertilizers.
$3.79 for 8 oz. of aquarium fertilizer isn't cheap when you have a lot of
tanks, some of them large.
You're paying for water and platic. You need to get the dry checmicals
from gregwatson.com or any hydroponics.com franchise. $4 a pound for
KN03 will treat aobuot 10,000 gallosn for about a year.
He charges more to ship it than the cost of the product or does he not
charge you S&H fees? 1 lb of Potassium Nitrate from Greg is $12.08 w/S&H
charges

I use Seachem "Flourish".
I'm also thinking about Seachem "Excel" in addition.
==================
These are excellent products but it can get expensive if you have a lot of
tanks or have large tanks.
True enough. But, http://www.gregwatson.com sells powders in bulk
so you can make your own. Excel has no second source though (dammit).
Greg's stuff is very very cheap.
If he doesn't add S&H charges. S&H isn't free. $12.08 for 1 lb of
PNitrate isn't cheap for some of us retired folk.
