How bad is just generic gravel for plants?
Also how necessary is a CO2 system? How does it work? Do I need it for Anubis and swords (all I have now)?
Sorry for the ? Bombardment btw
If you want to see mine, click on my Avatar to see the pics on my Profile page.
Generic gravel is fine for basic easy plants. Or you can just use Anubias and Ferns and not "plant" at all. Just tie them to wood or rock or decor. I have to say I am NOT a fan of Clown Puke colored gravel. My gravel is natural colored and allows my fish and plants to show off.
A CO2 system is not necessary for Low Light tanks IMHO. And may kill Shrimp. You can add CO2 to Shrimp tanks, but you must adjust slowly.
High Light/High Tech tanks need CO2 or you'll just grow an Algae Farm.
