evilknieval69 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 plant fertilizer intense light CO 2 Yes thats what you need, but they all have to be in a perfect balance of each thing otherwise algae will love you. I suggest you do lots of reading on sites like www.plantedtank.net/forums and get lots of ideas/info Oh, and i forgot, read this http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/thinki ... 18044.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Plants require a number of "building blocks" to grow including carbon. It can be made available through injecting CO2 gas, having fish in the tank (which produce CO2 through respiration) or by adding Flourish excel or similar.
