Need some advice on ideas for a new 2.5 g

[TheresaM]

I'm so sorry, didn't see your response until now. It's Natural Planted Tank, Walstad, El Natural. Organic soil capped with sand or gravel. Lots of live plants, both rooted and floating. Animals to feed and produce waste. No artificial light, no heater, no filter, no fertilizers. Only chemical used is a dechlorinator.

Would Stargrass, flame moss, and anubias petite be good plants for this?

Jungle val is a good back ground plant. I heard it can melt with high dose of liquid CO2

Very pretty! Can't wait to see it filled with plants!

 

[cherokeeluvr]

I decided to goth with star repens as a carpet because I have it on hand and the way it's setup a moss carpet wouldn't work anymore. I also added a little bit of dwarf sag, and I'm getting Stargrass on Monday! I'll post a pic of the tank once the cloudiness goes away!
