I've always struggled to keep a planted tank going for long. To be honest its my own fault, i have bought a few plants and they have started off quite well but then soon struggled and died.
I have never used a fertiliser so i dont spose that helped either! I have standard tank lighting which is on for around 10 hrs. I also have small gravel as a substrate.
But i have ordered some new plants and also purchased Seachem Flourish which i will start to use once the plants arrive.
For a simple planted tank will this be enough for a handful of plants to grow well? I have a 150ltrs tank. I dont have C02 facilities and cant afford to.
Should i use any other ferts or will Flourish be enough?
I have read that Flourish Excel is useful to do what CO2 would normally do. I dont have this but would get some if it will adequately compliment the Flourish....
Any advice appreciated.
