As promised I have added a new section listing do-it-yourself secrets and shortcuts
that will make life easier for aquarists on a tight budget. While it
would be nice to have a computerized CO2 meter on every
planted aquarium, that just isn't really practical at all. There are
several home remedies that can work just as well as expensive brand
name concoctions, although care must be taken to ensure that they are
used properly. Many of these recipes are popular and may be found elsewhere
on the web, but some of them are my own. I hope they
help put the beautiful aquarium you dreamed of within reach of your
budget.
