Well, as is normal, I suppose, for people who are getting into the hobby, the more I read, the more I have to ask! How deep does the rabbit hole go?
But on a less philosophic level, I have been doing quite a bit of reading, and some fish folks swear by undergravel heaters for their planted tanks because it allows the nutrients from the soil to slowly cycle upwards with the movement of the heated water. They also encourage a supplementary heater for the water column. What are your thoughts... is this just a way to get people to buy things they don't need, or will this truly benefit the planted tank? Thanks!
