i dont know too much about planted tanks in general but i know the main concept. you need CO2 ferts and light. I have a 29 gallon brackish tank(really a 22 gallon the way i have it setup) that is currently 1.008 but im going to bring it down to 1.005 over the next 2 weeks. the current inhabitants are 1 mudskipper, 2 nerite snails, 3 amano shrimp (will probably be food for puffer), and by thursday of next week there will be a fig 8 puffer. i have 1 Windelov Java Fern in there now that i put in a few days ago and seems to be doing ok and im going to put in the java moss i have and i hope to put more plants in.
here is the question/s. What plants should i get(preferably plants that can be bought at petco because its the only pet store within 80 miles of me)?
i have a hood that has a 18watt T8 fluorescent bulb, should i upgrade and if so what should i get?
will increased lighting affect the mudskipper? i dont want him to get burned
if i want to carpet the tank what can i get other then microsword?
if you can help me with anything else that would be great. here is a picture incase you havent seen the others i have posted. the java fern is not in the pictures
