Hi All
New user to the planted forum.
Just after some general advice.
This my current tank, pretty lame.
I want to convert this to a planted tank. Its Juwel Rio 180, standard 2 x 45w T5 bulbs and standard filter.
I have done some reading and wanted some opinions.
I was looking to get Eco Complete Planting Substrate with Unipac Black sand on top. The plants I was looking at where Lilaeopsis brasiliensis, Vallisneria americana and maybe Utricularia graminifolia.
I would like a centre piece like a fake bonsai tree and some rocks.
Would my current setup be ok to do this?
Would I need to add CO2? I am confused about this.
Any input would be great.
I forgot to mention the tank has been established for over two years and currently has a few fish.
Thank you
Kam
