Any recommended additives to keep the plants healthy and growing? Help
These are our nano tanks we’ve put together.

You can keep it real simple, as long as you have decent lighting just use root tabs and something like api leafzone, no need for co2 imo

If you got the right number of fish in there, you do not need fertilizer or CO2 just quality lights. The plant that I see in their require requires it they look healthy to start with. Just thin out your floaters a little to let more light down. Looks like you know what you’re doing. Plants look awesome.

Yeah, they do. If you’re on Facebook, there are a lot of aquarium, rehoming groups, where you can trade plants for fish and such. You might want to check it out. Just type in your state and aquarium rehoming. Especially since dwarf water lettuce is hard to ship it dies easily.

This site has a lot of valuable information on the topics.
Sadly they don´t ship to the US but their their shop allows to filter for literally anything so you can get a good feel for which plants will work in your tank.
