jodi Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 OK, this may be a really stupid question, but how do you know if your plants get their nutrients from the substrate or the water? I want to know if I should add fertilizer to the water or put it in the gravel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 I would say it depends on whether or not they have a large root structure or not... As far as I know, plants will accept fertilisers from both means, just some are better at getting nutrients from the roots and vice versa.

Goldie Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 I have an u/g filter and guess that my plants get nourishment boths ways. I use liquid fertilizer every other water change and when vacumning the gravel I just very very lightly go over the plants thus leaving the natural fertilizer to do it's job. d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
