Hi! I have a 15 gallon tank (footprint of a 10 gallon with some extra height) and I want to set it up as an Asian biotope once i find a stand for it. I plan on getting red ecocomplete plant substrate. Anyway, my plant plans are as follows:
Java fern on driftwood
Willow hygro (hygro augustifolia) for the background
A taller crypt species for the background (suggestions?)
crypt wendtii "bronze" for the mid/foreground and I should be getting some other crypt (florida sunset i think?) in the mail soon from a friend.
And then maybe some smaller, flatter crypts for the proper foreground.
Oh and asian watergrass floating on top. The water level will be slightly lowered so i can maybe get some java fern growing out of the water
Okay so what i need help with: background crypt species, foreground crypt species, and then lighting. I have an Eclipse all in one tank lid thing (with missing parts for the filter... Boo. So i'll be using a fluval U3 internal filter) and I'm not sure if the lighting will be able to support the hygro. I'll take a closer look at the bulb and stuff later when I get home, but for now what are your thoughts?
