Hi,
I wanted to know if it is absolutely necessary to put some kind of additive to the gravel if you want to plant a tank??
I have a 20 g all ready to start cycling (filter and heater already on and thank full) with some small gravel (about 2").
I went to my LPS (specialized in tropical freshwater fish) and the girl there told me that should be ok, and that i only need to add some liquid supplement (plant grow from Hagen) and get a CO2 diffuser (Hagen)...
Im planning on planting a lot and I got info on some kind of plant I could put in my slightly brackish water (1.006) and that are easy to care for...
Amaryllidaceae
Jave fern
Apiaceae
And Hydrocharitaceae...
Do you think I should be ok with my setting ?
Should I add anything...
Light is one aquaglow 15W.
