see theplantedtank.net
a "high tech" planted tank is just as much work as a reef tank but 1/10th the cost I used to double the plant biomass every week!

In my opinion, a nicely designed planted aquarium rivals a reef tank. www.plantgeek.net is a fairly decent website for plants. If you're looking for information on PMDD, send me a PM.

Started adding PMDD to my discus tank and my plants love it! My sword is growing faster than ever!! By far the best additive as a fertilizer (and way WAY cheaper than the Seachem crap!)

I played with the HIGH TECH method a couple of years back...too much hassel...Simply get plants that favour your water params and fish...then get some good lights to favour your plants needs. You can make it as easy and cheap, or as expensive and difficult, as you want.
