I guess it would all depend on weather you intend to add a co2 or co2 supplement?.... as the light intensity increases, so will the need for the plants to feed...both co2 and ferts, this will also increase the need to be more efficient at distributing these foods, so you 'may' need to increase...

I agree with Alastair, i dose upto 10ml of TPN+/Jame's recipe daily in a 60l tank and my shrimp still thrive and are constantly berried and have new shrimplets swimming about all the time :thumbup:

All makes perfect sense mate and thankyou for the info :) So basically the water added would still be better off gassed of most of it's co2 to avoid big fluctuations within the tank?. So even having huge disturbance of the water surface wouldn't bring in the amount of co2 the plants would...

Hi all, have a quick question regarding lowtech setups and tap water in regards to Co2 amounts. Right then lol..... i know how low tech setups work... the low maintenance, low flow, plants do all the work.. self contained ecosystem, none or very few water changes etc etc..... I'm planning a...

That's for the help Radik, all help is appreciated :)

Thanks again for the response mate, sorry i misread what you meant on an earlier post..... I basically read it as all elements could cause the plants problems as you mentioned above.. from to much ferts and carbon aswell as to much lighting etc but after re- reading it seems that it simply...

Cheers Clive, i actually picked the tank up last night and the light is actually the 24w bulb and not the 36w, the tank also works out at 17g so in think it gives around 1.4wpg which is far more reasonable.... so hopefully i wont have to much trouble now with the light :). All the info has been...

I have no reason to dislike you as a person (pointless exercise that usually ends up been a none productive motivator to not take in your obvious knowledge), i dislike your sometimes seemingly arrogant tone to posting and i don't think there is the need so much to use it in this manner to get...

As Always an exceptionally informative post :).... and actually very nicely put with nothing in the way of sarcasm (suits you much better ;)). Right so what im understanding is..... if i lower the light level from the start (if the plants added are all emersed grown), let the plants make that...

Many appreciate your post's and even I have to stand back and note how well informed/knowledgeable you actually are in many area's but do you not realise how rude your statements are? and your general posting approach.... you just made a whole, quite lengthy post of my behaviour/attitude which i...

So basically what your saying is, no this in theory wont work or wont work full stop?, i don't plan on changing anything because now im even more curious to see if i can make this setup 'as it stands' work to the best of it's ability... if i fail i learn alot if i don't then i have a successful...

Mods incorporated same thread from two sections for some reason and duplicate posts? lol... edited to clean up!!... i should be a mod pmsl ;)

Thanks for your reply mate.... 42 views and nobody on a 'dedicated' planted forum has any advice apart from you?... definitely seems that long standing members get far more responses to questions than us less recognised members. Ive asked 3 question over a week period and had total of 4...

Hi.... have another quick question... I will be starting a new tank in the next couple of weeks once i decide on a final layout and have found the rocks etc to suit it, will start a journal to document it in time but for now just wanted peoples opinions. I will be doing a 50-60l (13-15g) tank...
