The only things that seem to have near-zero controversy (in my
estimation) are:
1) CO2
2) NO3
3) Tropica MasterGro, Flourish, or PMDD
The rest still gets argued about a lot.
I don't think too many people are concerned with substrate other than
for appearance (within reason). I know of almost no one still using
heating cables.
