Hi all,
I was reading an article supplied by RTR about OTS and substrate renewal for planted tanks.
http://www.tomgriffin.com/aquasource/oldtanksyndrome.shtml
The last 3 paragraphs describes the situation for planted tanks. I was wondering how many of you actually do that here? The procedures there wasn't that clear. What excatly does he mean by a 'stand' of plants? Do I pull out all pants and vac the substrate every few years??? Sounds like a lot of work to me.
What are your opinions?
Thanks in advance.
