Guide to easy aquarium plants for beginners: robust plants, no mandatory CO2, care and common mistakes.
Aquarium substrate
Choose sand, gravel, nutrient substrate or technical soil according to plants, fish and maintenance. A good choice is also knowing when the aquarium is not suitable. Small regular actions are safer than sudden large corrections.
Aquarium algae
Identify algae, understand their causes and correct the tank balance without making the problem worse. Stable parameters are usually safer than chasing a perfect number. Read pH, GH, KH, nitrates, CO2 and stability before choosing species or correcting water.
