Laterite

[aussieant32]

Hi Guys

Im setting up an Asian tank and going for more plants this time (roughly 110L). I have purchased a 10kg bag of Laterite to mix into the substrate to aid in plant growth. Any tips, i have read some people use a lyer of just Laterite under the gravel and other mix it wih the gravel, anyone else using it?

Also, trying to weigh up a Co2 system, im not going for a planted tank, just a good few plants, do you think its worth the money or should i just stick to a good fertilizer/feeder?

thanks for any help!

You really don't need to add Co2 unless you have more than 2 WPG (watts per gallon) and you have a lot of plants.

Just use some ferts.

Save your money and don't Co2 systems.

Pumping Co2 into a tank; there rises other problems.
