My tank is Under-Planted IMO and I would really appreciate some suggestions :smile: I have a few plants in my tank and really want something much more, but keeping it a non Co2 tank is important. I have done my research, trust me. I have 2 notebooks full of plant info :redface: But I have...

All this time I thought Java Fern would survive a nuclear holocaust but somehow I've managed to kill it off. I've got some in my 10g that has DIY CO2, ~25watts (two 15 watt spiral bulbs, I know people like to say they aren't efficient) I've been using AP root tabs, but recently switched to...
