So after all the questions I asked, I finally got my plants and everything and set up my new 60 gallon tank. It's my first planted tank. Here is what I have done...I have Fluval Stratum as the substrate, I have a large piece of driftwood and some slate rocks. I have various plants-
Vallisneria, Corkscrew (Vallisneria americana var. biwaensis)
Moneywort (Bacopa Monnieri)
Anubias, barteri Broad Leaf
Java Fern (Microsorium pteropus)
Sword, Amazon (Echinodorus bleheri)
Tiger Lotus, Red (Nymphaea zenkeri)
Baby Tears , Dwarf (Hemianthus callitrichoides)
Ludwigia inclinata var. verticillata 'Cuba'
Limnophila hippuroides (Limnophila aromatica 'hippuroides')
The plants are really scrunched up and haven't rooted yet so they don't look so good right now...I am dosing some dry ferts- I dose iron, phosphate, and total (all by "AquaFertz") every month as directed. Every day I dose one capful of Flourish Excel but I am currently saving up for a nice C02 system...that's next on my list. I will add a few pics later...does everything sound good to you? Oh- also I noticed some white stringy looking fungus-like thing attached to one of the shoots of anubias...is that bad? I cut that new growth out and trimmed it a little. Anyways...anything I need to tweak about my stuff? Thanks!
