When you say you have an Amazon sword, fern and aquatic fern, please differentiate "fern" and "aquatic fern" please. As far as the amazon sword goes, that is a heavy root feeding plant and will require fertilization of some sort, preferably in the form of root tabs.

Using just room lighting will not be enough for love aquatic plants. Not enough light will penetrate the water without an external light source.
Also the one fern was simply labled a fern! I can post pictures, but probably tomorrow.

And I think the bottle even says that it won't halt a cycle. I'm just slightly paranoid that it will!

If you are not in favor of adding janitorial ammonia (frogless cycle) then what do you use to feed your bacteria?
