I have a new 10 gallon that I am going to plant. I have the tank all ready. Here is my set-up:

Lighting is a 17 Watt Flourescent Hood (I am going w/ low light plants)

Filtration: Marineland Penguin 100 bio wheel Filter. (yes I know loss of co2)

My substrate is standard aquarium gravel with laterite mixed on the bottom layer.

I am using diy co2 method But I won't add very much co2 to my tank as I don't think I will really need too much.

Oh and I will have some driftwood soon!

Ok as for the plants:

I am going to an aquatic plant store this weekend and I hope to find some decent plants! Here is what I hope to come home with:

Java Fern (anchor onto driftwood)

Anubis Nana (Forground)

Giant Hygro (Mid ground plant)

Water sprite ( Backdrop plant)

I don't want to get too many as I am just starting out. But just let me know if you think these sound acceptable for first plants.

I will add more later but want to start out little.

  1. that sounds perfect


  2. they are perfect

    i wouldn't get any more unless they are really really small

    because then there is a higher risk of ammonia and they will decay leaving the water polluted and that will mean more frequent water changes
