went to my local garden centre today. normally they only stock a few scabby looking plants, were as today they seem to have increased there range. still a bit scabby looking though, but a start. so whilst walking round i find they've set up a planted tank. im thinking wow a garden centre that's promoting planted tanks. its all a good start. but there doing it wrong, wrong ferts, wrong flow patters, wrong co2, wrong plants. even with my limited knowledge, i can see the faults. and i can see in 4 weeks time this tank being striped down, and another marine in its place. with the information available on this site it could be a nice tank and a good advert for the hobby. but how do you tell a guy in a shop "hang on mate the ferts your using (and selling) don't contain potassium and nitrate that's a bad thing" when the label on the product was written in the 80's, and now we know better.
anyway whilst i was ranting on i just remembered the flyer pdfs on the home page. maybe there's hope for them yet. think ill just leave them in the stand when no one is looking.
