Rather than clog up the other thread I started asking about how to dose ferts, I thought I'd start a new one to ask for advice about my particular tank.
I have a number of large tanks mainly with goldfish in them. I also have a spare Juwel Rekord tank that I'd really like to have a try at using this for a low tech, low light planted tank. The Juwel Rekord is a 60 litre tank. I intend to try and start by using 1-2-Grow or similar lab plants, Tropica Growth Substrate covered by sand.
What I'm unsure of after the planting is which, if any fertilisers to use. Will the Growth Substrate be enough to get the plants started or will I also need fertilisers and, if I do which do I go for?
