Re: [GSAS-Member] How do you dose your tanks

[naturalart@earthlink.net]

You could choose slower growing/relatively low maintenance plants such 
as Anubias spp., cryptocoryne spp. and/or java fern.Some of the faster 
growing stem plants may be 'prettier' but they generally grow fast. The 
faster the growth the more nutrients required.
