Had a look into the c02 systems today, wildly expensive where I am; need to start looking online :)

In the meantime, got myself a little encyclopaedia on aquarium plants, and this liquid fertiliser below (no tabs left).

Assuming below that the liquid ferts last 3-4 months on my small planted tank, is there any point in dosing ferts without C02 do you reckon?

Sorry for taking this off topic, but your dog is adorable :D

Also, what book did you get, and would it be helpful to someone with little to no knowledge? :)
Thanks, that's my Jack Russell, Dexter :D

Also sorry to OP if I'm derailing thread here, just say and I can create another :)

Here's a pic of the book, looks quite promising; had a quick flick through, details types of plants, lighting, CO2 etc

Thanks. :) I swear, decent plant books for beginners are near impossible to find down here. :/

Here are pics of the tank this morning, finished planting it around 4:00am last night... Now to see how it all fills in before deciding on a carpet plant...

Thanks, and i have to admit, other than the C.Wakeri and Anubias, most the other plants are new to me, so lets see how it goes :)
