    This was my small low tech mini that has been rescaped to mini with high maintenance. First three photos are from my early beginning with aquascaping

    For you interest last one is present (CO2 added). Worse photo quality is caused by no camera stand and the look is not final. I'm planning to put some e.tenellus inside the lawn of hair grass to make it 'more intereting'. Right front part is still not planted. There are some leaves of glosso.

    All plants require CO2, directly or indirectly!

    Most aquatic plants will do reasonably well without CO2 injection.

    Pardon me for nitpicking...

    IME, almost all the aquatic plants can adapt to non-CO2 injected tanks. Only very few really have problem with that.
