This thread will be for my first planted tank. I already got all the stuff to get this done except co2. Equipment: 29g tank with hood, t8 light, big bag of Eco complete, root tabs, dwarf hair grass, bacopa, aquatop cf400-Uv canister filter, 29g wood stand. Tomorrow I'm going to get the stand built and by the night it should be ready to plant. I been reading for months about this stuff now it's time for hands on. I welcome any tips to help me have a nice planted tank. Maybe a nice piece of drift wood in the middle with some moss growing off it like a tree. I'm going for that carpet look maybe some tall grass toward the back.

Nice tank. Not really feeling the pots but to each his own. My only suggestion would be to just let the plants grow. You seem to move everything around a lot and change stuff because its not how you want it. Figure out how you want it to look and give it a few months or so to grow in and I think you will be much more satisfied. This is just my opinion though so please don't take it as me being rude.

Hey man! Just a suggestion:


get rid of those pots and white pebbles! ;)
Hehe!

Why don't you find some nice sized rocks an test them with vinegar to see if they're safe? Make sure they are the same kind of rock to have context.

:)
