My 55 gal Dirt Planted Tank

[inkbull]

in no way is it needed as it is provided naturally but not in the consentrations desiered or needed by some plants

[RBrown]

Is co2 really necessary for planted tanks?

No, but you can grow some awesome plants if you have it. PS the plants do require some sort of co2

CO2 is only needed if you have high light concentration, you like to trim every week and fertilize often.

this is star grass (sorry for the crummy pic)


Inkbull, if you are looking for some, I'm sure I could send you some clippings and/or some stems. Its a pretty easy starter. It really took off after I added some root tabs and started dosing VERY little liquid ferts.
