Plants And Water Changes

[carpking]

Hi All

Just starting to have a dabble with some real plants again and have read that plants benefit from water changes is this true and so why??

Thanks in advance

Water changes replenish disolved minerals in the water used up by the plants.

And congrats on going live plants again.

Hi

Thanks for the reply and what you have said makes good sense.

just another quick question i have 4 Anubias plants that have been growing really well giving me the odd new leaf which is nice they have produce really good root growth aswell however i begining to notice some small hole developing in the large leaves is this normal? or are they needing something?

Do you add any fertilisers?

 

[carpking]

yeah been adding liquid ferts but no Co2

What ferts? When? How much? And how often?
Also what kind of Anubius?

I use Seachem Flourish. One capful on Mondays and Thursdays. Sunday is waterchange day.
I have two Anubius Nana, never hadany holes in the leaves.
