New planted tank

Arusso713 · 02-05-2013, 12:25 PM

This is my first try at a planted tank. Had to take down my reef

due to financial problems. So I thought I would give a low tech planted a try. I have to say I am starting to love it.

Tell me what you think. Don't know the names of most of the plants but there are some swords and some Taiwan moss ect... I have a couple of koi angels, mollies, and some cardinal tetras.

Yeah had a bad battle with green water. It is just starting to resolve lost a lot of the plants and a couple of fish. Man don't want to deal with that again. Bought a uv sterilizer and that helped a lot.
