Do I Need Ferts?

[srm1973]

Hi,

Recently set up a planted tank

Tank volume - 220l, no co2, lighting 2 x 30w t8, cat litter substrate

Do I need ferts?

Pic of tank below?

For sure, ferts and Co2 (Liquid or pressurised) will make a world of difference to your lovely tank I like

Shameless plug: I have some Seachem Flourish Excel for sale if you want to do a deal? (PM me)

you would get away with no C02 in this tank...the lighting is relatively low. I would still add some trace a couple of times a week. Something like Flourish

it would last you 6 months to a year.

As my lighting is low, would liquid carbon ie flourish excel be of any benefit?
