I'm just starting a FW tank (had a SW one for 2 years), and want to get into living plants.
I mainly want some tall green ones, but I want them to be as easy to keep as possible.
My tank is 55USgallons, and I'm going to be hopefully using the 9,500k 39w white T5 lights (x2) I used on my SW setup. I'm advised these will be ok and I won't need to inject CO2.
I think I need to add fertiliser into the substrate - how often is this usually added?
The main thing is I want the plants to be easy to maintain and keep - I don't really want to be messing about with balancing the chemicals in the water for the plants, I'd just like to be able to plant them, add fertiliser when neccessary, trim them when/if neccessary, and do the usual water changes.
Is this possible, and has anyone got any advice on which easy plants to get?
Thanks!
