Looking for some opinions

[Nelsontreyjones]

Just wanted to get some opinions on pre planted stage. This is going to be a low - medium light tank.

Looks good so far. Got an idea of what sort of plants you'll be getting? How about ferts and Excel/glut? Are those Planted+'s or Fugerays?

Thanks. I have the Planted+ . I plant to do el weekly dosing for low light and dose with glut right now. For plants this is what i'm thinking right now.

Foreground
Dwarf Sagittaria

Midground
Anubias Hastifolia
Cryptocoryne Lutea
Cryptocoryne wendtii
Red ludwigia

Background

Get a Java moss vine. They sell them at petco and can be shaped into anything.

Check at seachem. Some plants melt with Excell/glut. They have a forum where you can post your plant list.

"Q: I've been using Flourish Excel for the 4 days, and I've noticed that my Anacharis seems to be dying, while my other plants are doing fine. Why is this?

A: Anacharis is a particularly sensitive species (known to be sensitive to high temperature, trace copper, formaldehyde etc.). It is also sensitive to Flourish Excel. If you have Anacharis in an aquarium in which you are dosing Flourish Excel we recommend using Flourish Excel every other day rathter than daily"

As a plantaholic, I must say that tank looks nice as is. Nice hard scape.
Star repens is a nice carpet plant (even though it is a stem plant).

That pretty neat. I just looked it up, unfortunately the nearest Petco is about 50 miles away. Petsmart is the big pet chain in this state.

Yeah i've read that before. It seems to be a very small list and even then if you start with smaller dose and then increase they seem to adjust better.

Thanks, Yeah It really like Staurogyne Repens I had it in one of my setup. The only problem is the last time I added in my last tank my rainbows ate it.
