I work in a scientific field. I'm really into the planted tank scene at the min and am just getting to grips with the hobby
Advice:
if planted you need CO2, adequate lighting and a suitable nutrient dosing regime and frequent water changes to get the most from the hobby...when I started out I had problems with Black brush algae as the above advice wasn't taken
