If you keep it low end, 1.005, 1.008 at the highest, you could probably have it planted. Java fern and Java moss would probably be your best options. But you can also try Bacopa Monnieri, Cryptocoryne Ciliata. There's a few others that can potentially survive, just check out their lighting requirements. Some may do better in it if you give a higher grade soil.
I'd recommend you start adding plants now, and take the transition slow. The bumblebee gobies would love the cover, and I think they're the best candidates for tank mates with them.
the boyfriend named him after Dave Matthews late sax player? my filter outlet is adjustable so that should work. Also, I was thinking of starting with a crushed coral substrate....pros? Cons? Would this change the water too much starting out?
got that
