Aquarium Advice Addict
Hi, I am buying a 25 gal tank tomorrow, and I am using 24 pounds of CaribSea FloraMax Planted Aquarium Substrate.
I am going to be setting up a DIY co2 with 2 2Liter bottles as the generators, and one as a gas separator. And I will have dual Coralife T5 light fixtures 6700k. My question is, with all of this, do I need to start doesing ferts right away? I have $175 in Christmas money, and I am going to use all of it up for everything besides the Ferts. Could they wait about a month until I get $30 in allowance money to buy some Dry Ferts?
Thanks!! I am not going to be growing demanding plants, here is what I am getting:
Valls
Bacopa Australis
Mexican Oak Leaf
MoneyWort
Wisteria
Four Leaf Clover
Dwarf Baby Tears.
My only worry is that (because I am going to have 80% coverage) since I will have so many plants, they will take all the nutrients and die. Which would suck.
So will I and the plants be okay?
