Addatives???

[JRT]

What addatives are needed for a planted tank
and what are the best ones.
I have heard it said that rabbit poo is a good fertaliser for plants?
sounds like an old wives tale to me anyone else heard that one before

well i think the rabbit poo thingie would work wonders for your garden, but in a planted tank, i think it would have to be prepared.. you see any kind of poo contains nutrients that plants could use but when it comes to rabbit poo, simply placing it in an aquarium might lead to er... stinky water....

additives to a planted tank come in 3 forms only i think
initial nutrient rich substrates (flourite, floredepot)
liquid fertilizers (like sera florena ? florapride? i forgot)
solid fertilizers (like root tabs)

other forms of additives are c02 injections etc etc

hope this helps

Dude, i think you should leave the rabbit poo for the garden, not the tank.... Who the hell came up with that one......

Anyways, i do add several things for my plants. All products from Seachem. I use liquid fertilizers and root tabs, but depending on what plant types you have u wouldnt necesarilly need both. But the amounts of additives is dependent on how 'planted' u want to go!
