im trying to get some advice for my missus' friend who wants a planted tank . she got the tank 2nd hand with some plants already in it , along with a serious algae infestation . i did ask in the algae section and got some advice to help her bring it around , but she has said she wants to start again from scratch .
tank specs : juwel rio125 , standard juwel internal filter juwel lights with reflectors . pretty sure her substrate is quartz gravel .
there are some dead spots with the juwel internal , so i would say she will want a powerhead . after that i really dont know what to recomend to her , wether she should use liquid carbon or not , what ferts if any ?
other than maybe java fern im a bit stumped as to plants that she would be ok with . ive had a little look through the search function , but im not really sure what to look for any help /suggestions gratefully received
