Hello all!
I recently bought a ten gallon aqueon tank with a 50 watt heater, Quietflow 10 filter by aqueon, and a 15 watt full spectrum light that came in the hood. I also have eco-complete planted aquarium substrate. And I'm hoping to set up a planted freshwater tank. I've tried to have plants before and they've all died so this project I'm 100% invested in.
I'm concerned about my substrate being enough or what type of additive and fertilizers would be needed. Would sand be a good option as well? I'm trying to create a grass carpet affect and am possibly thinking of dwarf babby tears. I also am thinking of investing in CO2, any ideas?
I'm most likely going to be stocking this tank with a betta fish and some friends such as shrimp or small bottom dwellers so that the bioload is minimal. Any ideas?
