This is my first planted tank. I am hoping to create a planted tank for Shrimp and other dwarf In-Mates 
So far here is the kit that I have:
Tank: Fluval Spec 5Gal/ 19L
Heater: Fluval compact aquarium heater (To go inside the filter area)
CO2: AquaGro CO2 Pro set
Soil: Tetraplant Complete Substrate (2cm layer on base of tank)
Substrate: Fluval Stratum for shrimp (layer on top of Tetraplant substrate)
Lighting: Stock light for now, will look into upgrading the lighting
Ground cover plants: Hemianthus Callitrichoides 'Cuba'
Bog wood plants: Star Moss, Spiky Moss
In-mates: Possibly starting with Shrimp
I will post photos and thoughts as I go along with the build. Hopefully I will get some help and guidance along the way from you guys
Any thoughts and suggestions so far?
