Aquarium Advice Addict
What's up guys and gals I am in need of some inspiration for my next upcoming build..
Tank is a 20g long.
I plan on it being medium lighting.
Some plants that will be in the tank:
Downoi
DHG(maybe)
Blyxa japonica
Ludwigia repens(maybe)
I'm looking for some substrate ideas that will flow with an actual aquascape and provide rich nutrients to the smaller plants demanding it.
I've read of some using potting soil? Opinions?
If it's larger like Floromax gravel I'd like to do a sand cap or something again for Aquascaping reasons.
How to go about this? I'm not afraid to try a dirted tank with a cap but I'd like some real input on set up and maintenance of it.
Edit: cost is also an option... Id rather not pay $40 for a 8 pound bag of ADA. Something like $20 for 20 pounds like Eco complete I can do that.
