I decided that it was tome to upgrade my 10gallon apisto tank. It used to just be a mess of plants with rotting stems because i only had 9 watts over it. The only things that grew well were crypts and my spiral vals. not to mention i didnt dose anything either. I wanted something a little more... so i bought two 24w fixtures to put over this tank. That gives me a total of 48watts. Should be fun, i have never worked with that much light before. I know since its a small tank that only brings my WPG down a bit. Still havn't figured out the exact amount. I also have a co2 reacotr running. I have never had good luck with co2, but i will be more dilegent with this, see how it goes.
I am dosing with dry ferts, and tropica aquacare liquid.
For substrate i am usuing eco-complete with a small layer of black gravel on top.
My plants are:
Cryptocoryne beckettii ''petchii''
Cryptocoryne wendtii ''brown''
Cryptocoryne wendtii ''green''
Cryptocoryne parva
Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides (maritima)
Ludwigia glandulosa
Vallisneria americana ''mini twister''
I plan on getting some type of groundcover (i was thinking Marsilea minuta or good ol' glosso)
I also plan on getting some downoi or some other type of mid ground plant for a small tank.
I will post pictures as soon as photobucket is done with maintenance. Its a work in progress.
