Been a while since I've been on here and my my how much has it grown!!! No doubt through a lot of hard work by members. Well done!
Like I said not had a fish tank for a year now after my much loved 4 ft tank cracked in a house move
I got all depressed and gave up fish keeping, I put my heart and soul into that tank. Here's an early pic, (you can tell by the algae busting elodea densa lol) I unfortunately didn't take many pictures of it which I totally regret.
It eventually became an amazon sword planted tank with that floating plant thing which grew like hell fire!
Anywhoo....Got myself a 90 litre tank now and I want to add a simple CO2 method to slowly and cheaply introduce myself into serious plant keepage, I'm thinking along the lines of the George Farmer Nutrafin yeast-based CO2 unit to start me off. A lot of things have changed in the fish/plant keeping world in a year so just wondering if this is still as viable and tried and tested as it was back in '07.
When I bought my tank (totally on whim) I bought some 'Sera Floredepot Gravel Substrate Plant Growth Promoter' stuck it in the tank and put a layer of 'Dennerle crystal quartz gravel' on top. I have never used either I have always used sand so hopefully they work out.
Look forward to showing you my beautifully planted tank in the next few months but all I can offer now is a shot of a cycling tank with some substrate and water in ha!
