I recently had to re start my 10 gallon aquarium after an ich outbreak. I really want to make a completely carpeted dwarf hair grass set up. These are the specs I was thinking of.
Lighting: odyssea t5 4x18w lamp
Fert: A DIY c02 setup leading into a glass diffuser, and regular weekly dosing of API leaf zone.
Substrate: bottom layer will be fluorite capped with a top layer of regular aquarium sand
Filtration: will be a standard internal 20-30 gallon filter not HOB as to not disturb the water and create unnecessary oxygen
Livestock: mainly neons and cardinals but not really important until the plant setup is perfect.
Plants: like I said I'm aiming for a DHG full carpet but I also want some bigger background plants that look bush like and I'm open for suggestions on this.
Will this setup work? Or is it a recipe for failure and another restart?
