nemines Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 java moss will probably grow a bit too erratically, and need trimming more. for lighting, not entirely sure wat you'd use. wat are the tank's dimensions? if you had several nanos set up next to each other then a t5 unit would work.

HaNs Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 hey people what is co2? and how do you use it and what do you need to use it? thanks new to fish and haven't had aquatic plants before PS: what is a nano tank? CO2 = carbon dioxide.....google/wikipedia.....cant link to external sites here :roll: Plants need CO2 to grow, increasing it during the day increases growth Nano= small/tiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 CO2 is Carbon dioxide- used by plants. See- http://www.wetwebmedia.com/plantedtkssu ... agfaqs.htm Nano just means small- Taking an everyday example an ipod nano is a small ipod. A nano tank is usually about 20 Litres or Less (but more than 2 L otherwise it becomes a Pico tank.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Nano = Small Co2 = Carbon Dioxide Plants utilise the carbon molecule from co2 as building blocks. We add carbon dioxide to increase plant growth,(must also have sufficiant lighting and ferts) Fish will naturally add co2 but for some of us, this is not enough.lol http://fins.actwin.com/mirror/plant-co2.html Read that for a bit of a run down HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
