I got mine at a local pet store. I'm sure your supplements will be good. I used to have a 46 gal that was stuffed with plants. The sticks are black plastic and about the half the length of a pencil. They have little holes drilled into them where it is filled up with supplements. Remember when you do your water changes and cleaning not to clean the gravel around the plants where stems are grabbing on. The plants will actually decompose your debits over time and use all the junk in your tank as additional nutrients. I just cleaned the gravel where there were no plants as well as a little over the surface to keep it looking pretty. So basically it will work like a DSB.
For more good stuff check out www.aquabid.com The people there are cool and you can combine a ton of bids on all sorts of cool rare plants.
