Planted/Nature Tank

[curator]

I'm interested in setting up a freshwater tank whose focus is plants. Does anyone have this type of tank, or can anyone recommend websites and/or references?

Thanks,

John

it takes time for the bio cycle to establish to where the plants start to grow give it time like anything else

I have one. Check out Takashi Amano...he's the pioneering guy for the planted tank. He has three books out, the natural aquarium vol 1-3. I think he has his own line of stuff.

I've been keeping planted tanks for the last 12 years. I have a high tech 265 gallon now. LMK if you need any help.

I have several planted tanks and have run high (CO2, dosing, etc.) and low tech setups.

I have run both high light and low light. I now just run a low light but still supplement pressurized co2. All the websites above are good. The APC is another good forum/site:
