Well I suppose it's time to start a thread for my 10g (failure waiting to happen) tank. It's a waterbox clear 10 and will probably be a shrimp tank. IDK which species but leaning towards trying CRS or CBS for the first time. Currently it's in a dry start phase. Substrate I went with Fluval Stratum topped with Brightwell Escuro-F. I didn't buy enough stratum and decided to buy Escuro after the fact, no other reason. Using HC for the carpet and haven't decided the other plants yet. Probably go with some mid ground in front of hard scape (S. Repens). For behind the hard scape idk yet. Have a picture of what I hope it'll look like if I can keep from messing it up! CO2 system will be CO2Art PRO-SE Series and a Aquario NEO CO2 Extended diffuser. I like that you can custom fit their diffuser to the tank. Will be using a 2213 with lily pipes for filtration, most likely turned down a touch. Light is provided by a NICREW SkyLED Plus, not sold on it though. I built a stand out of some spare wood I had, I painted it black but don't have a picture post paint. My aqua scaping skills lack as well so be gentle lol. Not sure about the longer piece of driftwood, might remove it idk. I read to just "lay" the plants down and let gravity pull the roots down, not to actually "plant" them. After a week some of the clumps are looking good, others haven't really changed. In order the pictures are; stand, stand and tank, before planting, after planting, after 1 week, and then what I hope it looks like eventually.
