Have people been successful in growing plants in a tank outdoors in full sunlight?
I have a 75 gallon that I am considering using as an outdoor tank. Last time I tried this, it became a green swamp quickly. I have hygro, guppy grass, floaters, , all sorts of quick growing plants I can use. I also want to throw in a few swords and a few aponogetons.
The tank will get direct sunlight for part of the day. It can face east with a wall behind it, or face south. Either location it will still get hours of direct sunlight.
I am looking for tips and ideas that will help me keep it from turning green. I am happy to use excel, dose with nitrates and ferts, etc.
Thanks
