I have a nano planted tank with a T5 growing light and I boost themes with carbon and CO2; but there is no heater and my plants are starting to die. Is it because of the ''cold'' water. Please give me your advice. Thanks
 
I'm pretty new to aquatic plant keeping, but I bet that's a big contributing factor. Do you know what kind of plants you have? If you do, google the plant and you should be able to find out what the ideal water temp is for each plant species. That's what I do with all of my plants and fish.
 
No problem! I'm pretty sure most of the plants sold in fish stores are tropical. I have some bamboo sticks in a tank that didn't used to have a heater (I have one now) and they are kind of indestructible. Other than that, I think most plants like warm water.
