None505's 5 Gallon Tank Journal
I have had a lot of aquariums but this is the first that I would call a planted tank. I am a complete noob to keeping anything more than Java Ferns alive. I really have no idea what I am doing but I have wanted to try my hand at a planted tank for a long time so here I am.
