hey guys i want to start up anther planted tank but the only thing i have is play ground sand =\. can i use this or is there anything eal (like mud from out side lol) that i can use?
Just make sure the soil is purely organic. As far as co2 it will depend on what kind of plants you are getting. You could always do a diy co2 for cheap.
If you want to use soil, check out the El Natural method or the mineralised top soil method. Good alternatives to the more expensive ADA substrates or other commercial products.
