So long as nitrates remain above 5 ppm, you don't need to worry about N 
deficiency.  Should your nitrates drop to zero (and they very well may if you 
run a heavily planted tank that is photosynthesizing well, combined with a 
light fish load), you might want to look into supplementation with Yamato 
Green-N, a product that includes extra nitrogen along with the usual iron and 
nutrients.  So far as I know, they are the only supplement with nitrogen 
added.
