Hi,

I've read (some) about growing plants (thanks Charles for the links),
and I have some follow-up questions:

first, If my tank is over a year old, and has signs of algue do i HAVE
to take care of ALL algue before buying plants ?

second - is it recommended to plant all the plants at once ? i have a
plastic one i want to replace now, and then gradualy replace all the
other plastics over time . is that recomanded ?

third - Is CO2 injection a MUST ? im concerned as i have problems
getting the water tested (mainly, because i dont have the know how/what
and also due to very high costs of kits here)


four - can full-spectrum bulbs/flourecent be bought in a hardware store
or must they be specific for fish ?


thats it for now.

thanks in advance
