Shaji, are you saying that if one have low light, one should not add
CO2? I have a concern because I plan to add CO2 very soon. I have 50gal
36"x18"x18" tank with 40W Triton, 20W Aquari-lux and 20W Phillips Super
Daylight. Now, is it OK for me to add CO2?

Should we have a list of fish not recommended for plant tank in the plant
FAQ? I've just recovered from nightmare with Clown Loaches. We could also
add list of plants that can withstand those fishes.

Thanks in advance.
