I am Very new to the planted tank thing!!! Have only had the plant for
about a week. But, hey, it has put ut a new leaf already!! :-) As far as
aquariums in general, I have helped my hubby run a 90 gal reef for a few
years now. I just wanted to spice up my betta's life with a plant and more
room to swim. One thing is leading to another........I want more plants
now.

First may I ask, Why no filter? Some kind of filtration is needed in
almost
all tanks, if only to create a bilological filter bed to convert the
ammonia
to nitrogen.

My daughter's small betta tank has no filter. 50% water change weekly,
and
the
java moss eats lots of nitrate and grows fast.


These last few posts are why I said "..is needed in almost
all tanks..."....
I know there are exceptions, but since the poster seemed to be
somewhat
new to the hobby, I elected not to get complicated. But, you were all
absolutely correct.
