getting started with plants.....
Hey folks...
I've been keeping fish in a erserach setting for a couple fo decades, and I'm finally getting around to setting up a home tank. I'm getting ready to do a 125gal community tank, and I'd liek to do soemthing with plants. Because all of my aquaria experience has been at University, we never kept plants... I'm looking for suggestions for good starter books and info sources..... any suggestions or references much appreciated... thanks -_JD |

I've started a little page on how to get started with plants:
http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/.../881/setup.htm It's still bare-bones, not connected to the rest of my site yet, but it will give an idea of the kind of choices you'll have to make. Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |

Hi Leigh... Hey I see that in your link below you state that it's possible that a fertilizer spike might be needed. What is your recommendation for quantity inserted and frequency of use. the reason I ask is that I got the co2 kit from Dave Gomberg, and he includes a packet of spikes with the order, but no recommendation for application. I've been using root tabs and flora pride, and was curious as to the proper application of the spike. I'll start using these if they are better, as I'm sure that they are a cheaper alternative than the stuff from the LFS. Thanks for your input and expertise. joe On 01 Jan 2003 01:08:59 GMT, tose (LeighMo) wrote: I've started a little page on how to get started with plants: http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/.../881/setup.htm It's still bare-bones, not connected to the rest of my site yet, but it will give an idea of the kind of choices you'll have to make.
