I want to get more into growing aquarium plants. I want to set up a system, having a number of 10 gallon aquariums (I have about 20 plus) set up, probably more like 6-8 10 gallon aquariums, all hooked up on the same system, each aquarium growing a few different plants. I want to hook up CO2 of course, I was wondering if I could put CO2 directly into the sump and have that work for all of the aquariums? And if I did this, cover each top? Or leave open? I know when covering dust becomes and issue with lighting, but would keep CO2 in better I think.
And would the plants do better if I designated one 10 gallon for a few fish? Or just simply dosed tanks and fertilized?
Any thoughts.
I was going to have them all run into one sump, get heated there, then back up into tanks.
Plants I wanted to do would be Java ferns, java moss, riccia, Christmas moss, A number of other variations of Java Fern, a number of different sword species, maybe some crypts, and a few other odd balls. But basically stick with easy to grow plants. I also wanted to do some duck weed, butterfly fern, and fairy fern (I think its called, another floating plant) And maybe some sort of grasses.
