Cant go wrong with the javas' the fern requires low lighting and zero suppliments if using tap water with a de-chlorinater. first and formost i would suggest iron before looking into any other supps. i only use iron and used to also use thers but find iron alone is enough to keep the javas' crypto, etc going without much hassel. groth is quite slow but they are doing quite well.
Also hornwart is a good floater. grows like a weed under almost all circumstances. its also a good source of food along with java moss. you may want to stay away from things like sword for the fist bit. i never could manage them at all. i have never tried CO2. what worked well for me was O2. i only ran it at night (after lights out).
