Hello all,
I am new to planted tanks but not new to aquarium keeping. I have an extremely over built reef tank that I need to keep my hands out of and let mature. Going from a world of vortechs and ati's I started having no fun.
So the seed was planted. I started a low tech shrimp nano that failed spectacularly. So this time I want to do it right.
I love the look of the Nuvo line and decided to use one of the 10 gallon ones. I have a very rough list to start with.
Innovative Marine Nuvo 10
Some finnex grow light that I used for a fuge
Sand
Some rock
Some wood
Some easy plants (from my reading I came across crypts, java ferns, mosses, and this amazing looking plant called frogbit)
For stocking I was thinking of:
Black Harlequin Rasboras
Some cory cats (which ones?)
What other fish are possible?
And I am stuck. I talked to all of my reefing buddies about this and they don't know anything about plants. Amybody want to help out a new guy?
