Lilies don't need much- when they're dormant, you can pull them up and divide, re-pot and fertilize then.
I wouldn't add anything to the water... chances are, the lilies will get what they need from the water, especially if you have fish in there.

How do I fertilize my hardy water lilies? My water lilies are over 20 years old. Every year I put several inches of rotted cow manure in the bottom of a 5-gallon bucket and put the water lilies on top of the cow manure. If I'm dividing the water lilies, I use a 2- or 3-gallon bucket.
It's worked so far!

Use the pills. I use Planttabs that I get at Lowe's. Every two or three weeks, I go wading in, cut off the dead leaves and flowers, and shove a couple of the tablets down into the lily dirt. They work great.
