Long story, short. I'm starting a 2.5 gallon shrimp tank. I have my substrate picked out, my sponge filter, my air pump, etc. I need plant advice.
I was thinking about seeding it to get that carpet look. Do most of those plants require co2? I have excel that I use in my other tanks and it works great. I just don't have the money for the bottle co2 at this time.
My next question is what plants are the best to seed without bottle co2? If any at all.
My last question is, what lighting is best for those nano type tanks? Can you use just a desk LED or is there a specific brand most prefer? I was thinking a small LED shouldn't price me out like my 48" one did
I have also seen those tanks that come with the kits you see in Petsmart and Petco. They usually have a pretty decent price tag on them and I was hoping parting the whole thing out would save me some money.
Thanks guys!!
