04 My friend grows plants beautiful plants and doesn't do high-tech stuff like CO2 or fertilizers. Is it really necessary?
The quick answer to this is no. It is completely possible to grow
plants using basic tank equipment, either by chance or by patiently
learning through trial-and-error. This is accomplished by slight
modification of the basic equipment and usual fishkeeping practice.
High-tech gadgetry, however, can remove much of the guesswork by
allowing you to better control each of the four ingredients.
We should also mention that the term beautiful is a bit subjective
here; Many hobbyists achieve great success with "easy" plants and no
special equipment, and this is perfectly fine. But beware comparing
this to a high-tech monger and their ability to grow a wider variety
of plants, because they're really two different categories!.
