Recommandation of foreground plant.

[Heuer]

Can anyone advise me what foreground plant should I get for a low tech tank without CO2?
Tks.

Echinodorus Tenellus or Dwarf/Japanese Hairgrass. Although, for DHG/JHG, you might need to get a bigger or multiple pots to plant more heavily at the start, since low tech will slow their propagation rate.

Ok. Tks for the advice.

would HC be suitable for non-Co2 and non-chiller environment?

Not suitable to grow HC without chiller

HC needs cool temperature, I have tried in the room temperature, it can't survive long, while currently, I put my HC in office which air-conditioned. The HC doing very well, the grow rate though is slow, if with CO2, it will grow faster.

Perhaps you want to try spiky moss or java moss in the foreground, I did that before. You need to tie them in the wire mess or plastic mess.

Does that mean if i use a chiller without co2, HC will still grow? What about light? How many wpg do i need without o2? Tks.

Will give moss a pass for now.
