grow plants without co2

[bally46]

Hi can anyone tell me if its possible to grow plants without co2 injection

In short: yes.

Depends on the plant. Plants like Crypts, Java Fern, Java Moss, and Anubias will do perfectly fine without injected CO2. That being said, all plants will grow better when supplied with a steady and correct amount of 3 things: lights, nutrients, and CO2.

Thanks, would it be better if i used something off the shelf like easy carb? I just think its a bit expensive buying a co2 kit, i also plan on using eco cmplete as a substrate

I don't know what these little plants are but they do extremely well without CO2. They even multiply.

And these too. You can breach them apart Andy they will root an multiply.

You can dose liquid co2

Liquid carbon is a viable option for aiding plants with photosynthesis and growth if CO2 isn't used.

Hello bally...

Attached is a pic of a 55 G. No special fertilizers and a couple of 32 watt florescent bulbs from the hardware store. Just large, frequent water changes.

I'm pretty sure you can have a planted tank without high end ferts or lighting.

It's kind of like asking if you can take good pictures without a fancy camera. Yes, you can, but the DSLR camera really helps.
