Hello all, I have recently decided to convert my gravel community Tetra tank into a fully planted aquarium. I've been in the hobby for many years and I recently decided to try a planted tank. Got myself a 10 gallon and added bdbs with root tabs. It has went pretty well so far. Only had one algae outbreak which has been under control for about 2 months now. 3 weeks ago I purchased a Fzone diy c02 system (citric acid and baking soda) to see how my plants would respond.
After 3 weeks, the plants aren't exploding like I thought they would but are doing pretty well.

I bought the background stem plants from Etsy and they never listed what was sent. (Any help on the name of those plants would be appreciated)
Ok back to to the subject at hand. I've been looking at doing the 75g in organic potting soil capped with bdbs. Not necessarily the Walstad method because I plan on using a canister filter and co2 with 25 or so small Tetras.
What is your experience with the capped organic potting soil tank? Pros and cons? Thank you for your input!!
