How important are nutrient rich substrates in a high tech planted tank ?
I'f i was growing mainly stem plants with a few smaller crypts (no swords or aponogetons), and daily dosing ferts either as a complete feed or using the EI, could i do away with having stuff like eco-complete and just have sand....or have a different substrate such as 50/50 coarse sand/JI 1 potting compost (for example).
3 WPG, pressurised CO2, good water movement, high fish stocks and 10% weekly water changes using RO/tap water mix.
Any comments or observations would be welcome
