Awesome tank
Could I get a list of the plants in there?

 

[techo]

I second that list of plants! What lighting are you using? Looks good!

 

[Smcoyle87]

I have 2 Amazon swords
2 Annubias Nana
Rotala Indica
Red Ludwigia
Dwarf Sag
Crypt Wendtii
1 Banana Plant
1 aponogeton bulb (Betta Bulb)

I have four 21watt t5 bulbs and a DIY Co2 with some sort of diffuser haha, I really don't remember what type it is.

Thanks for the feedback though! I'm currently setting up a 55g planted tank so I'll post pics when it looks good.

Ive really wanted to get amazon swords but aren't they semi aquatic??

 

[Smcoyle87]

No they are fully aquatic. There are tons of Echinodorus (the Swords) species. All fully aquatic! haha

I need to get some ASAP then lol

They are heavy root feeders and their roots get really big and long. Root Tabs are the way to go with swords for fertilization.

Love ur tank. Which are the plants on the left? The tall one and the plant behind it? Also How do you anchor those darn banana plants?

 

[Smcoyle87]

The tall one is red ludwigia and the plants behind it are green cobamba (spelling??) Lol
Thank you!

 

[Smcoyle87]

Oh and I bury the banana like roots halfway and leave the rest showing.

Very healthy looking tank. I still can't bring myself to commit to live plants. I wish I would after seeing this!
