FAQ
Your Ultimate Guide to Planted Tank FAQs
Our comprehensive FAQ section provides you with expertly curated answers to the most pressing questions about planted tanks. From lighting requirements to substrate choices, we cover it all!
A planted tank is an aquarium that includes live aquatic plants. These tanks are designed to mimic the natural habitat of fish, providing a healthy and aesthetically pleasing environment. Planted tanks offer numerous benefits, including oxygen production, filtration, and a natural source of food and shelter for fish.
Planted tanks are beneficial for both fish and aquarists. The plants help maintain water quality, reduce algae growth, and offer natural beauty to any setting. They also create a more stable and balanced ecosystem, which can lead to healthier, happier fish.
Adequate lighting is crucial for the growth and health of aquatic plants. We generally recommend full-spectrum LED lights, which provide the necessary range of wavelengths for photosynthesis. The duration and intensity of the lighting depend on the types of plants used and the tank's setup.
Selecting the right plants depends on factors like tank size, lighting, and water conditions. Some beginner-friendly plants include Java Moss, Anubias, and Amazon Sword. Our knowledgeable staff at Matthews’ Aquatic Paradise can guide you in selecting the best plants for your specific setup.
While CO2 injection is not mandatory, it can significantly enhance plant growth and vitality. Low-light tanks with hardy plants may not need additional CO2, but high-light tanks with demanding plants often benefit from it. We offer a range of CO2 equipment to suit various needs.
A nutrient-rich substrate is essential for rooted plants. Options include specialty aquasoils, sand, and gravel. Some substrates come with nutrients pre-mixed, while others might require additional fertilization. Our store offers a variety of substrates to help your plants thrive.
