💰Aquascaping is an EXPENSIVE hobby!💰 

🙌

I use only tropica spec fert.

It's fine if people want to hot-rod their systems and get the best plant performance and design options buy blowing wads of extra income, but I just hate when so many of these guys act like it's the only good way to go to get decent results. I'm not saying that's what this guy is doing, but I can't say he's not doing that either, considering the title of the vid...

Often times, high tech aquascapers add excess ferts to make sure there are no deficiencies, but control algae, water parameter changes, and various pollutant buildups through regular water changes. It seems like a waste to add extra fert just to remove it, but bare in mind that when you have so many different types of plants in an aquarium, it's difficult to avoid some deficiency, or to avoid this or that mineral or chemical either building up or being reduced to unhealthy levels via the biological processes of various plants and/or animals which can either be toxic or alter water parameters over time. Dirted, or even just aquasoiled substrates that are mostly covered with heavy root/substrate feeding plants can help mitigate some of those issues to an extent, but compensating for everything with zero maintenance or water changes is still difficult. But mostly, these guys go through extensive maintenance for the sake of getting the maximum performance out of their plants.
