Healthy planted aquariums depend on balance rather than chasing maximum light, fertilizer, or CO₂. This section covers freshwater aquarium plants, substrates, lighting, nutrients, algae, CO₂, planting techniques, hardscape, and aquascaping decisions for both simple low-tech tanks and more demanding planted systems.
