<p>airstone at night isn't a bad idea because at night plants release co2 and use up the oxygen in the water</p>

<p>I use flourite and that seems to work or if you want to go cheaper but still works just as good, you can buy organic potting dirt. Co2 is not reqired but can use if you want, to cap the soil or dirt use sand or gravel both work fine but i prefere sand.</p>

So 4 a 75g does this sound like a goog mix:<br />
<br />
Dusting of peat<br />
1 bag - 15 lbs. flourite<br />
1 & 1/2 inched miracle grow organic potting soil<br />
Cap of 1 & 1/2 inches gravel<br />
<br />
Any comments are appreciated!<br />
<br />
Thx

<p>i think and as others on this site have proven dirt is the way to go when it comes to planted tanks. just do peat, dirt, clay, garvel in that order and you'll be good, message me and i can give you a much better and more specific breakdown of the process. the thing with tanks is if you have high lights you need co2 or else you get algae and vice versa if you use co2 u need high lights. high lights and co2 are really only needed to grow a few rare species and create rapid growth. i don't…</p>
<p>i think and as others on this site have proven dirt is the way to go when it comes to planted tanks. just do peat, dirt, clay, garvel in that order and you'll be good, message me and i can give you a much better and more specific breakdown of the process. the thing with tanks is if you have high lights you need co2 or else you get algae and vice versa if you use co2 u need high lights. high lights and co2 are really only needed to grow a few rare species and create rapid growth. i don't really suggest co2 its stingy and to me an uneccisary pain. plus super expensive. on the lights iv found that a 2 bulb t-5 fixture is typically too much light for me. the problem is you can really only run them for 6 hours a day which sucks or else you get algae. i prefer two t-8s which i can leave on for like 12 hours a day. if you need or want any more help feel free to ask.</p>
