WHAT IS THIS STUFF????



Hi. I have a question and i hope that someone out there has an answer for
me!!  Today, i purchased a product at Wal-Mart called "Schultz-Instant All
Purpose Plant Food Plus Micronutrients".  The "guaranteed analysis" is as
followed:

Total Nitrogen(N)...........................20%
      3.2% Ammoniacal Nitrogen
      0.4% Nitrate Nitrogen
      16.4% Urea Nitrogen
Available Phosphate(P2O5)..........30%
Soluble Potash(K2O)...................20%
Total Iron(Fe)...............................0.10%
     0.10% Chetlated iron(Fe)
Total Manganese(Mn).................0.05%
     0.05% Chetlated Manganese(Mn)
Total Zinc(Zn).............................0.05%
     0.05% Chetlated Zinc(Zn)

Here are a few questions i need answered:

1) Do i use this fertilizer (which is in powder form) straight into my tank??
The directions say for for feeding once or twice a month use up to 1/2
tsp/gal of water (for indoor plants) and use 1 tsp/gal of water (for outdoor
plants).
2) If i use this fertilizer "straight" into the tank how much should i use?
3) If i use this fertilizer "staight" into the tank will it kill my fish?
4) Is this the micronutrients used in PMDD??? and if so what is the formula
for PMDD??

Thank you for all your help (which has been greatly appreciated),
