That's a great looking tank, how big is it? Love the real plants, I'm hoping to pull off something like this.

125. Plants are fun! Really not too hard either if you have the right setup. Nutrient rich substrate, lots of light- and light in the right wavelengths, add some co2 into the mix and you're good to go!
Cheapest way is to diy reactor it. Brewers yeast sugar water container airline tube check valve and a diffuser. Or by a Co2 kit but that's expensive. You can use a product called excel from seachem too but I've heard you shouldn't mix that and polys, I don't know the validity of that statement though.
Looking good!
I never wanted to mess with CO2 so I just choose plants that don't need a lot from me and go from there. It takes time to figure out which plants like your setup and which don't, though.
Hello Polleni - how's s/he doing with the rest of the crew? How big now?

The polleni is doing great! Spunky little guy but super fun! He doesn't let anyone push him around. I'll try and snag some more pictures for you. He's pushing 4" or so now and getting bulky
Doesn't really start anything but some of my others are a little rambunctious and try to push the smaller fish around.
That sounds kinda complicated. Brewers yeast? interesting. Haven't heard that about Excel, but good to know about the possibility.
Sweet. How often do you need to change the CO2? is it in the little tanks? Or am I thinking of something completely different?
