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.
Very nice tank. I like the direction you are taking it. Beware the ghost shrimp. They are the gateway shrimp to all the other varieties. Next you'll get cherry shrimp. Then you'll start dreaming about CRS! Cherry shrimp look great with black gravel.
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.
I like it. Perhaps put some of the while pebbles in the pots. Make the pots look like they were full of pebbles, but fell to the bottom of a pond and spilled out.
Hey thanks I'm just going to let everything grow in now before I change anything. Planted a micro sword by the pot on the left side toward the back last night.
