Hi, everyone!
I've decided I would journal my experience with this tank. This is my first real planted tank. I’ve used live plants in my previous tanks - single plants and swords in Betta bowls, etc. - but now I want to give it a serious try.
Equipment:
10 Gallon Black-rimmed tank
Aqueon Deluxe Hood w/T8 Fluorescent Full Spectrum
Tetra HT10 Heater
Aqueon Quietflow 10 Filter
API CO2 Booster
Planting:
Fluval Stratum
Echinoderms ozelot x3
Echinoderms ‘barthii’
Pogostemon Helfer
Hygrophila corymbosa
Bacopa caroliniana
Ludwigia repens
Staurogyne repens
I have a few photos of setting up the tank and the finished setup. I got a lot of inspiration after lurking around on Tropica's site - mostly for plant care and how to prep plants for... well, planting. It’s actually been rearranged since these photos and the driftwood hardscape was switched with a different one. I also realized that I needed more substrate, so that is going to be added in at a later date.
