Do I need Some sort of Co2 and if so why and how.
I do have live plants and mixed fish.
 
Hi mate, have a look to the tutorial section in which all these very basic issues are explained... This forum is wonderful if you want to have a planted tank.

Yes, your plants will need C02 to grow, in basic terms...the more you supply the faster they will grow.

However you don't necessarily need to inject additional CO2 via a pressurised system as there will be a certain amount of available CO2 in the tank water.

Low tech tanks rely on obtaining the CO2 from the atmosphere or decomposing substrates & other basic natural methods.

High Tech tanks rely on using liquid carbon or injected Co2....both types of set up can work but one offers very slow growth & the other very fast growth!
 
Basic tank setup my plants are growing but was wondering if they need Co2 to survive for longer
