I'm planning on buying a new tank and moving my current fish over to it, my plan is to continue with no co2.
My current tank has a layer of aquatic compost capped with sand and I have to say, the plants have thrived and grow very quickly in it, however it isn't the scape I want. (I will move some plants over, like my tiger lotus as that is so beautiful but my amazon swords, although growing fast seem to get shrivelled at the top and block a lot of light from the rest of the tank). Fortunately, I have had zero issues with algae!
I'd really like to attempt to grow a carpeting plant, I am aware with no co2 this proves more difficult, but from my research, monte carlo can be grown without co2.
I wanted to know what substates would give me the best chance at achieving this for my new tank.
Thanks!
Also if you happen to know of a better carpeting plant for this do let me know!
Edit - I am looking at the aquanano 80 mand juwel rio 125 - are the lights that come with those sufficient for this task?
