BUT just for few type of plant... they are... so it's that means i start my tank with Air Pump will do? if i choose moss , java fern and etc?? moss java fern etc.. air pump is provide oxygen to the fauna in the water.. normally we will use filter instead of air pump... except for shrimp tank.. to keep plant growing is... the " nutrient " lo...  correct me if im wrong   if any one mind to share which plant doesn't need any co2? lolz... |

QUOTE(michanz @ Jan 18 2010, 12:36 AM) fish needs oxygen well, today i go to pet shop asking about java moss and ADA soil... he doesn't know at all =.= erm... that shop owner Chinese with no idea what's the english name of those stuff... and i also dont know how to explain he show me java moss that cost rm 10 ( i found out abit costly)plants needs co2 air pump for me i dont really need it.. my plants will produce enuff oxygen + the filter inflow splashes in a little oxygen.. co2 is to me more important for a planted tank. for all i know plants which doesnt really need injected co2 would be java moss/ java fern and other cheapo ugly plants which has no aquascaping value.. for a planted tank u also need soil, for a 2footer i believe u have, a big rm88 bag of ADA soil. if ur planning for just java moss and java fern u wont even need soil alltugether.. get all in one liquid ferts which cost rm20++ per bottle. and for co2 introduction u can us Seachem EXCEL for rm50++ for a big bottle which is in liquid form about a capful a day for good results on ur moss and ferns. either u just want a planted tank, which is just plants in a tank. or u want a planted tank, which looks good, has an aquascape which is pleasing to the eye. if u have the cash, ul get the latter result. Added on January 18, 2010, 12:42 am for presario, that isnt a tank lol.. thats just a vase and some soil and a clump of moss tied to a rock. its cute. but thats a joke. lol what keep the plants growing would be fertilizers basically. |
