Hey Guys,
Wanted to get your thoughts on adding plants to my new 55 gallon tank. Im looking to get a really nice natural look, and already have a sand base. (It was in the tank when I got it.) I have cleaned the sand and have begun the cycling. I just purchased a new T5 dual fixture, so I have the lights. I also added a few small fish, wood pieces and rocks but need advice on what to do next. Here are some questions.
Where are the best places to buy plants? Online or in stores?
Can you recommend some easy beginner plants?
Are snails inevitable if I add live plants? I hear they can be a huge pain in the arse.
Thanks!
Here is my tank now.
