New Plants
I had a planted tank years ago, with good DIY lighting, and CO2. Now I am
starting the hobby again, after being gone for about 5 years, and have forgotten most of the things I knew (this is not like riding a bike, although I may catch on quickly). I have a black ghost fish, and they do not like bright lighting (although mine is not minding the lighting I have - same set up as 5 years ago - the light still works). So, I want to know a list of plants I can have without high lighting and possibly no Co2. I do have Co2 to set-up, but don't want to if I don't have to. I did put in a layer of laterite when I set up my tank 8 weeks ago. How often does that need replenished? Thanks |

Thanks http://www.disky-design.dk/fish/PlantSearch/PlantSearch.html input you tank parameters and it lists plants that will thrive in your tank. -- Jim Anderson ( 8(|) To email me just pull my_finger |
