Hi,I have been in the hobby for 40+yrs.and went into planted tanks about 5 yrs. ago.I went all out with lighting,ferts and pressurized co2. Been pretty successful after a few algae attacks,it is really all about a balance of those three things.I waited until i retired to get into Discus so I would have the time to put into it.Got a lot of great advice and made a few mistakes but now have 6 beauties soon to be 8 in a 90 gallon tank.here is a video of my 40gal. breeder and 45 gallon planted tanks taken last night.As you can see I won'y be winning any awards for photography lol...
