What are CO2 and planting equipment products?
Live aquatic plants can bring a lot to an aquarium but they do need some care and attention to flourish. With CO2 and planting equipment you will have everything you need to tend to your aquarium garden, including ‘feeding’ your plants CO2 to allow them to perform photosynthesis, which changes CO2 into oxygen. Recently there has also been a growing trend in what is known as aquascaping. Aquascaping is the process of styling your aquarium plants, similar to how a professional gardener might, to create an impressive arrangement of flora.
Why should I buy CO2 and planting equipment products?
With CO2 and planting equipment you can ensure the health of your plants and their ability to photosynthesise, this will allow your plants to oxygenate the water in your tank. Oxygenating the water is key for the survival of any marine life and often requires hardware to achieve, if you can manage the CO2 and the number of plants carefully you can create plenty of oxygenated water for your entire tank.
