Initial dosing for low-tech

[illumnae]

I am in the midst of setting up a new tank which i intend to keep low tech and without CO2 injection or fertilization. However, I was thinking of using Excel for CO2 and some initial doses of fertilization to boost the growth of plants to a certain point before stopping and putting the fauna in.

will this cause algae problems when i totally stop the dosing of excel and fertilizers?

I don't dose at all if I know I am going low tech.

ok thanks valice =) looks like i've got to settle for really slow growing moss, or purchase already lush ones from someone who has spare =\

Go with nanas and Java fern.. they react well with EI

i don't intend to fertilize at all in the long run, not even EI =)

continue with moderate Excel and go with low light will be fine.
