This is for anyone who wants to keep up with it and also for me to keep track of costs and setup to see how everything goes. I have two other tanks, a 5.5 cherry shrimp, and a 10 planted community. This will be my first heavily planted tank.
I will list the items I have so far and what they cost only so when I want to get a larger tank, which will eventually happen I will have a rough estimate as to what I will be needing.
I don't plan on actually setting up this tank for another month as I am redoing my computer room, I spend enough time in there I might as well put something to calm me down in there.
Items I already bought
Tank. $29
Filter. Ehiem2213 $70(big Al's)
Heater. 100w $25
Substrate: 2x ecoComplete $17 each
1 x 20 lb black moon sand $20
Lighting: aqualife double t5ho $120
Marienland hiden LEDs (for moonlight) $50
Digital thermometer. $7
Background. $10
Stand $110
Driftwood. $50 the centerpiece
I want some Xmas moss around some of the dw then have a bush of ferns or crypts at the base ans a carpet around the rest to the glass
Some carpeting plant suggestions would be appreciated.
