    I am in the future planning to create a planted tank so now I have a few questions I hope you guys can help me with

    1- CO2 injector is it necessary for which types of plants? I am currently more interested in carpeting plants and mosses.

    2- How much does CO2 injector and Bubble counter cost and where sells the cheapest and better quality?

    3- What type of filtration system is necessary for the two types of plants I have mention in Question 1?

    4- Rank me the best Carpeting plants and mosses.

    5- What fertilisers or additives you use which is the best for the plants, how much and where to get it?

    6- What fish species is the best to keep in this situation

    Thanks in advance

    It depend on the light. The higher the light intensity the more you need to inject CO2. Light dictate what kind of plant you can grow, some plant grow poorly under low light intensity.

    CO2 tank roughly $80-100
    Solenoid Regulator roughly $80-150
    Bubble counter and Check Valve roughly $10-20
    Diffuser/Inline diffuse/atomizer/reactor roughly $2-$50
    You can check with NA or C328 or SeaView

    Plant type does not dictate what filtration you need to use. Just get canister filter.

    First of all you need fertile substrate/soil (get ADA amazonia best soil in the market so far). Plant need macro nutrient (N, P, K) and trace element +iron. There are many different brand out there, they are all the same. You can either chose all in one or dose seperately.
