What To Do Next

[SteM]

Ok so I have a 180 litre tank, 2 25w tubes one warm lite one day lite, used aquabasis fert under my manado substrate, I have added 2 types of plants and I have an air pump which I've been told to take out as it will cause algae, my cycle has started so I just want to know if there's anything I need to do to ensure my plants don't perish? Ill be getting a jbl pro flora co2 system in a few weeks, and some more plants the weekend should I start adding ferts even though I used the aquabasis or will that be sufficient enough for now ?

That should be sufficient until your tank is fully cycled.

Cheers mate, the addition of more plants won't call for more fert? Or Co2? As I won't be getting a co2 kit for some time

CO2 would help but it can wait a bit.
