Very Most Important

What would you say are the very most important things to do, to maintain a healthy planted tank ?

 

I don't have a planted, but my older sister does. I would say make sure you have enough light & keep the tank clean. She has a few algae eaters in her 29g planted.

 

Lighting first, CO2 second, water quality third, supplements fourth

 

I am doing all 4 so hopefully I will be successful.

 

any pics please
i like planted tanks

this link was put up for me by Zoban
its very good because it list plants in terms of lighting needs
and gives a lot more options on low light requiring plants then I would have ever known existed

too much light will result in alge bloom. lighting is important, but do a search and find the right amount of light shine.

 

lighting.

keep your nutrients in balance. This is usually easier with alot of plants or non-plant substrate.

The last thing you want to do is over use supplements, since plants and algae use the same things you can have a bloom very quickly.
