IMO, despite the products being packaged very alluringly, they’re overpriced. The premium you’re paying for is essentially the perception of “prestige” you get with owning an ADA product. Although I respect the legacy & impact he’s left behind in the aquascaping hobby, I find his ideology & branding presumptuous lol. I have a personal bias, & am not discrediting the quality of ADA products at all.
However, I think there are other products out there that perform equally just as well (or better) for less. The thought of pricing would-be aquarists out of this hobby based on wealth/class leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
I’ll get off my soap box now lol, I apologize. As for fertilizers, I use & recommend NilocG’s Thrive. Very easy to dose, & have seen fantastic results in my own tanks. The NilocG website is down rn, but I would recommend buying it there instead of from amazon. Some other fertilizers I would recommend are:
Best of luck to your tank endeavors! 🌿
That company sells an all-in-one, thrive.
u/thewongcafe is correct, do not mix the two you have.
this is what I use
This thrive?
NilocG Aquatics has an all-in-one liquid fertilizer (available on Amazon as well as their website). I know that as a beginner, this has made my life easier because I can focus on other aspects of the planted tank. Someday I'll switch to dry ferts!
Second the GLA ferts. I use their dry ferts and mix my own liquids. Also look at NILOCG thrive as well.

the heavy pellets do once they break surface tension, but the flakes disperse nicely. I have to feed the betta in the very corner of the tank behind the outflow tube or else he can’t catch his food.
My little bristle baby is definitely growing up. If he gets too big I would be happy to make that the catalyst to upgrading my tank.
I use this for fertilizer, although I admit I’m probably not using it properly.

If you're looking for an all-in-one you could try thrive ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DSFMNHQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_msZKAbZFNB04F is the option for low tech tanks). It was recommended to me but I can't give a strong endorsement as I've just started using it.
All-in-ones are convenient for very small tanks because measuring small amounts is a pain, and doing water changes to prevent imbalanced fertilizers from creeping up is easy. It gets pretty expensive for bigger tanks tho, and the convenience factor is less there, so a lot of people use dry fertilizers. You can get dry Potassium Nitrate and Monopotassium Phosphate from this site on the /r/plantedtank subreddit sidebar: http://www.aquariumfertilizer.com/ to cover your macros then use a mix like "seachem's Flourish" for your micros.
If you're using very soft/ro/di water you should also get a remineralizer like seachem's "Equilibrium" product.
