It depends on many things, your lighting type and intensity, types of plants (low or high light) and type of substrate for starters. |

Co2 is such a large component of a high light planted tank. It will definitely take your tank to the next level and this shows it. Great job Glen!

And these plants get there ferts mostly from the water column. So in this case liquid fertilizer would be best once a week after your water change. Seachem flourish is the brand and product I highly recommend. |
