So I decided to give a sand base with plants a try. I have always been into the aquarium lifestyle and I would love to be able to do some great tanks someday lol. Im currently in an apartment and space is limited but I am a professional glass guy by trade so I hope to build my own tankS very soon. I'm waiting mortgage approval lol.
Anyway, I'm currently cycling my little 10gallon tank with a sand bottom. It has a little castle thing in it I'm really fond of. I'm hoping to get something viney or carpet like to cover it for a more natural look. I might be going driftwood hunting this weekend. If I find something I really like the castle may get tossed in favor of a nice piece of wood.
As the tank stands right now I'm using a Marineland LED light I cant remember the specs offhand lol. The tank also gets a good amount of afternoon sun which I'm sure isnt the best thing but there really is no where else to put it.
So my questions would be: What would be some easy to maintain plants? IS there any favortie carpet type or viney plant to cover the castle or maybe some driftwood? I have been looking into Java fern and some java moss. Also some Star moss for some ground cover. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
I know it's out of level and needs more water
