How often do you have to do water changes when growing your plants?

[mbezik]

@onekaFTM as i use the Estimative index method of fertiliser dosing i need to do a 50% water change weekly, also regarding your previous question about co2, in the video which you commented, that was done with no co2 as it was a collection of easy to grow plants, in its current configuration the plants require high levels of co2 to maintain healthy growth as many are considered difficult or problematic plants.

@mbezik I'm also wondering what type of light you are using? I've become really interested in aquascaping recently and it seems you have it down perfectly! Beautiful tank.

@mbezik may I ask what is your local garden centre called and were and is it a chain?

[mbezik]

@fabihanski the bogwood is made up from about 7 pieces ive placed together, all grabbed from various shops on my travels, yeah thats dwarf baby tears, i got it from a local garden centre that has tropica pots, i always try to go with potted tropica plants as i find they suffer less from acclimation, i keep it alive and growing by giving it strong light, high constant co2 levels from a pressurised system, high levels of liquid nutrients, both macro and micro and a good clay based substrate
