    I think the fact that you are limited to no pressurized CO2 you would have to keep your lights minimal... remember, increase in light means you have to increase fertz (possible) and also increase CO2 (not possible). You could however go with Excel, but this also is not as good as the CO2 gives

    You can use whatever you want except CO2.

    As Zoom said, you can use anything you want except Co2.

    Also, let me clarify one thing. You may use 6 different plants. ONLY 6. Two types of Rotala, is 2 plants used. 3 types of moss = 3 plants used. You must be careful not to use more than 6 types of plant.

    As you guys know, low tech is what I do. Unfortunately due to travelling I wont be able to enter, which is a damn shame as I have an awesome idea mulling in my head.
    Maybe next time.

    Sorry for sounding stupid :wacko:

    Would a tank with dimensions 450x350x350 fall within this range. :p

    I have one standing at home and if so it could now come in very handy :bigsmile:

    You can use as many of each as you want.

    Unfortunately, no. You cannot use this tank. Sorry. Swop it for a smaller one with someone else! :p
