Hi Guys,
I was looking into setting up the DIY co2 kit and had a look to see if I'd need more than one for my tank as its 375L and I've just planted 75 new plants but the various forum posts suggest that 20 to 30 is ideal for plant growth and based on the charts with my tank having a PH6.4 and KH of 3 then the CO2 level should be at about 36 so now I'm wondering do I need to add any at all? My tank is well established and previously only had fake plants, it has 2 discus (several more coming asap), 3 angels a pleco and a couple of mollies. What do you think? Also what would be your recommendations for the best fertiliser and plant food? I was told a product called Seachem Flourish was good but what else would I need?
Thanks
