is that what you would advise to a beginner is it needed to have a healthy aquarium full of green plants and a nice green glosso carpet ?

should i still use my flourish and how ofden to you dose all the ferts ?

i think the ei dosing is the way to go seems cheap and easy-ish lol does anyone else do this dosing along with co2 ? the veid u posted is great and the kit that it advitises looks good and not worth messing about for £20 better off getting that to last a year

what you think
thanks Dean
