Default I surrender - no more live plants

Bob,

from 1st hand experience let me tell you of a "You can't really go wrong"
with this kind of plant, I bought a hygro. species, In theory I should not
have been able to kill this plant, it did well for the 2st 2 months then
died off, I transfered it to another tank with more light, it disappeared
completely, I moved, and 3 months later after the move, about 8 months
after the plant disappeared I have the entire 1/3 of the tank choked with
this plant.

"Never Give Up! Never Surrender"
Did Churchhill say that?

Everything that's green and I touch dies. No exception.



The girl in the fish store sold me some plant " A........." that looks
and probably is a weed and said no one can kill it. I killed it.



I know I can invest more time and lots more money into a live plant
tank but I'm not that interested. I'm just looking for some fish I can
feed and minimal tank maintance.



Now to the questions.



1) I have a 2" bed of "Flourite". Will I have to clean this as I would
gravel?



2) I have a Co2 generator Nutrafin Natural Plant System by Hagen. I
guess I no longer need this? If not $20 and shipping is included.





Thanks, bob
