Hello all,
I am wanting to start a planted tank and want to start really really simple (confidence booster) and move forward from there. I have a few questions that I need help with in order to judge if I should even attempt to get into planted tanks.
I have a simple ten gallon tank I want to convert. I am envisioning white sand (really want to stick with white sand if possible) with just one simple log or a few semi-large rocks sitting on the sand in the background. In the foreground I want a lush carpet like look of plants.
The picture might look something like this I found in the gallery here:

^ Rocks arranged somewhat like that or a simple driftwood with white sand like so.
And for the carpet like plants maybe something like these:

Unless there is something even easier to use. Basically really simple like this and then I would add plants in individually much later on when I get the hang of things.
What do you guys think?
