Hi all :grin:

This build was started in February and looked like this at the start (water went cloudy due to installing the rocks etc which disturbed the "no need to wash this" substrate...):

Today it looks like this:

I am wondering whether I need to get a CO2 system to keep the plants happy? :hmm:

I am currently feeding them with 7.5ml each of:
  • Masterline I
  • Masterline II
  • Masterline Carbo
Should I change the doses? :hmm:
Cheers!

If its working and the plants don't look like they are lacking nutrients, then stick with it :)

You don't need Co2 injection to grow healthy aquarium plants.

However some plants species like Blyxa, Micranthemum or Pogostemon can be tricky to grow in the aquarium and for these Co2 can be beneficial for good growth.
WARNING - DO NOT BREED, FEED OR PET THE PUDDLE! :dodgy2:
