Yes but not all at once.
to give you a basic and (sometime's i do forget to add the stuff) run down on my ferts regime goes like this
At WC i add phosphate's and potassium nitrate and substarte ferts and potassium.
Next day i add flourish then on the 3 day
Then on the 4 day i add alittle more phosphate's and potassium.
iron every other week if not more time in between.
The only thing i test for is nitrate every now and then to give me an idea how thing's a travelling,If they a getting a bit high i won't dose nitrate.

In a simpler tank containing discus/goramis, two powerful standard filters (an aquafin 70 and an eheim 90) any advice on what I can use to fertilize the swords I've just put in there?
Also, with carbon, do you recommend the dissolved powder stuff or is it only good through an actual filter?
