Plant only tank

[Scott F]

So I thought I'd try to circumvent paying for plants in the long run and am wondering what i would need to have a plant only tank other than a really good lighting system, air circulation and fertilizer.

Check out naturalaquariums.com She uses shop lights and gravel. No filters, her tanks are beautiful. Hope tih helps. I have three tanks and use plant substrate, filters and sunblaster plant lights.

Depending on what plants, co2

How would only having plants circumvent the need for buying plants?

Buy splitting them when they get big and growing starts from them to start other plants.

There's nothing preventing you from having fish and growing plants as well.

Oh, I know that AQ. I thought this would be interesting to try as I build up the 40G and 30G that I have now. They (the plants) seem to be doing well there so I thought I'd take some starts and clips from them to see what I could do.

I also have a 75 gallon tank in the garage that I'm planning for and figured if I could jump start some now, for when I set up the 75 next month I could transfer them over, as I want to do something really unique with it but haven't exactly decided which avenue to go with.
