Medium Tech Tank
I've been doing a bit of research on how I want to setup my new planted
tank. It seems like there are two directions to go in, Low Tech and High Tech. Low tech consisting of nothing special in the soil, no undergravel heating, basic lighting, no CO2, no daily dosing, and sometimes no filtration. It looks like people have success with this, slow growth, but it seems to work. High tech consists of special soil, undergravel heating, good lighting, CO2 injection, dosing, and tons of filtration. However, what about Medium tech? The tank that would best fit my pocket and needs would consists of: standard gravel mixed half half with fluorite or laterite (can't remember the difference) to cut down cost undergravel heating (I can get these cheap) good lighting (this I can build myself so lots of light is not a problem) no CO2 injection dosing, preferably not tons of filtration (this I can also do myself so I can add as much filtration as is necassary) Basically I would take a position somewhere mid point between Low and High tech, by adding better soil, undergravel heating, better lights, a little bit of dosing and filtration to a low tech tank, but still staying away from daily dosing and co2 injection. So how does that sound? Could I expect this to work. I don't mind sticking to the easier plants and all I expect of them is that they grow, but their rate of growth I'm not too concerned about (I basically don't want them to die or always stay the same). Anybody else tried something similar, what kind of growth did you achieve, did it last?
