New 10 gallon

[addisonnolann]

Hi everyone! Today a purchased a new 10 gallon tank, and plan on moving my betta out of his 5 gallon and into the 10. The ultimate goal is a planted tank, but I have no idea where to start. I plan on going low tech, low light plants. What would work for my tank in terms of that? What light would be ideal? And substrate? I eventually plan on getting a small swarm of dwarf corydoras, and hopefully some shrimps. Any tips would be appreciated! If you think of a fish that would work well in my tank let me know, because id love some diversity. Thank you!

Oh! And on top of that I'm looking to fabricate a fish stand. I now have two ten gallons, and plan on more. The thing is, I'm limited on space. So the plan was to make somewhat of a cabinet so the tanks will be taking up vertical space instead of horizontal. Anyone have any experience with this? I've never built something before.

Put down Root Tabs. Put down smooth sand. Add plants.

Crypts
Java Ferns
Anubias



Get liquid ferts
API LeafZone
Flourish Comprehensive
Flourish Excel ( for Carbon)

I add these 1x weekly after water change.

Excel can be added daily.
