Surely no one is aware what means a "planted tank", considering that the name itself makes it quite clear us. If we are lovers of fish, so we are sure of the seabed, and of course, the amazing green ecosystems can find.
Having a planted aquarium will require us to double work, that we must take very present ever. You not only have to worry about the welfare of the fish, these pets that many choose for their ease of care but still involve some other mystery, we must ensure that our plants get the nutrients they need to grow without problem. Nitrate, phosphate and potassium will be key to this, along with calcium and magnesium, but also light and CO2, of course. We distinguish two types of planted aquarium: the so-called low-tech, which require simply a medium or low lighting and little or nothing in terms of CO2, and the high-tech, just the opposite: you need a much higher lighting, CO2 and one condition fertilizer for plants that do not lose any of the nutrients that we mentioned earlier.
For our aquarium plants are easily purchased at any store dedicated to petand aquatic world, and placing entails not much difficulty: just plant them in the ground with a distance of about two inches between each. There are precise tools to plant both to desplantar, we also sell in the store, better avoid scissors or tweezers used for other purposes. There is no harm in planting with the water tank full or empty, but yes, you should not add fish immediately: you have to wait at least a month until the plants have been allowed.
Light must be introduced gradually. First about six hours a day, then add one more ... until you reach the maximum number, which are usually about eight or nine hours a day. All this, we insist (never repeated often enough in relation to plants and pets ) depending on the type of plants you choose.
