I have been reading through a lot of your posts on fertilizing planted tanks and see a lot of you guys spend an awful lot of money on products which may not be needed. (not an expert but have had experience)
I used to have a 5ft x 2ft x 2ft tank which was heavily planted. I used to get rabbit dung and let it dry out then pop a bit into the gravel at each plant. I had stunning growth and no water problems what so ever. My substrate was lightly crushed washed coal which made the plants and the fish stand out perfectly. ( my opinion )
Has anyone ever tried this with the same outcome at such a little cost? (pair of marygolds for the ocd types required)
