Apologies if this is a daft question! I have had previous tanks with and without injected CO2 and grown a range of plants, but with a heater and the temperature always being 22-25C. I'm thinking of setting up a new tank but keeping it unheated. In my centrally-heated-for-part-of-the-day NW UK living room, this means the water temperature will be 15-16C at the coldest time of the day in winter, up to 18C in Autumn and Spring, and whatever the ambient temperature gets to in summer.
I would be looking to grow the "easy low tech" staples such as java fern, crypts, Echinodorus, limnophila sessiliflora, Brazilian pennywort.
Would this work...?
Not 100% sold on it, so if a heater would be better, I can get one. Just trying to keep running costs low.
