Nature Aquarium Gallery Tour (Part 1) - Still Water Aquatics, Bengaluru, India

Want to visit a classical Nature Aquarium Gallery in India? Please visit the Still Water Aquatics or ADA India's gallery in Bengaluru, India.
In this first part of the two-part video series, I am focussing mainly on the massive 180 cm by 120 cm by 60 cm (H), 1200 L Nature Aquarium, which I believe is the only ADA Cube Garden of this size existing outside Japan and China.
This tank uses a customized Sump Filter also supplied by ADA and showcases a huge variety of exotic plants and fish, both from India as well as outside India. Here are the names of certain rare aquatic plants that I saw:
Nymphoides sp. 'Taiwan'
Crinum calamistratum
Ottelia ulvifolia
Aponogeton madagascariensis
People wanting to visit can use this address -
Building, #70/1, 3rd floor, J&K Bank, Mission Rd, Sampangi Rama Nagara, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560027
(maps.app.goo.gl/cJm3Lj4aYZHpf...)
Also, people from outside Bengaluru can stay at the YMCA hostel (www.ymcablr.org/accomodation/), it is within walking distance from the Gallery and is also very economical and comfortable.

[@gitasrimandal4477]

Is it possible or better to ask , should plan a planted aquarium without co2 set up..

[@ripplesnatureinspiredaquar6870]

Carbon is an essential element for all plants. Using pressurised CO2 is one of the best ways of providing Carbon to aquatic plants. So undoubtedly plants will do much better with CO2 injection. There are certain DIY methods to produce CO2 as well. Some plants has the ability to extract carbon from bicarbonates present in water, like valisneria, some hygrophila species. so it is definitely much more advisable to go for a planted tank with a CO2 setup
