QUOTE(j3ff345 @ Nov 7 2008, 12:07 PM) hey i'm intrested in getting a planted aquarium..but izit possible to go without co2? like mayb i put less plants in dude, you doesn't need to post same question in 2 related thread. Anyway, the answer is yes, not of the quantity of plant, but it will be limited species of plant which you can grow, especially those low-light plant, which require less co2, such as java moss & java fern...etc I keeping my low-light planted tank for 2 years, plants still growing. But do provide the plant with fert.

adrian7386, either if you hardworking enough, you take them out one buy one, cause mostly they on the tank wall or on the plant. if not you can try out cpf method, i think it works.
wesley, not bad your tank, look nice. are the plant all growing in good condition?

Ya, all grow healthy (except Brazilian sword still look very tiny) 3 weeks after I add in iron fert and change the single PL lamp to 2 PL lamps.
