Re: profile as substrate

[J Miller <ruddigar_99@yahoo.com>]

Al,

  One of my best planted tanks is a thirty five gallon tank that has
been set up for about five years.  The substrate is nothing but silica
gravel, about 3mm.  The plants grow well with good light (about 80W
flourescent), and CO2, with a weekly addition of liquid fertilzer and
the odd Jobes plant spike.
