On Purpose Planted, that is.
---On hand ...
10 gallon "no mommy I don't want a new betta I want a gerbil" tank. Algae city.
Generic hood with a "sunlight" bulb, likely power source for algae city.
Cheapie filter.
Black "Carib Sea" sand, very pretty but inert.
Pirate ship, barrels, pirate chest. Yeah. No.
Giant mass of Java moss (descendants of a few threads I decided to "nurture" off some plants from Fresh20) ... A few random stem plants probably destined for my big tank.
Lots of baby Java fern, and anubias from my bigger tank.
-----For sure:
No CO2 except Excel.
Heavily planted.
Slow methodical build.
Gotta figure out which bulbs are appropriate.
Remember tank won't get food Saturday or Sunday (office tank)
Wild-ish nature style tank.
-----Maybes:
Dirt.
ADA Amazonia.
Walstad type but kicked up a notch (a few dry ferts per a Tom Barr recipe)
School of Danio Tinwinii (Gold Ring Danio, super tiny guys)
Or a very cool Betta.
Or other nano fish (LFS is The Wet Spot, Portland)
Or interesting shrimp. Tap Water here is extremely soft.
I'm fascinated by the thought of dry starting something.
