Dear all
I know there are threads here referring to DSM because I read one last night - but the search facility doesn't like it, so I apologise if this has been done to death already but...
I'm thinking of using DSM in my tank - partly because this is my chance to learn how to grow aquatic plants successfully and it seems a jolly good idea and partly because it'll give me more breathing space to set up the CO2 system - order the inline diffuser from HOng Kong (unless anyone knows a good one for sale in the UK - still wide open to ideas) and sort out the best EI dosing system from proprietary bottle or whatever...
but as I understand it, DSM means keeping the substrate *just* wet -and I wonder how people manage who have a big tank with a decent slope in the substrate? Do you only plant the lower areas? Or can you keep something like COlombo Florabase damp all the way without over-saturating the low HC-growing areas?
thanks
