Well, after much reading and deliberation I have finally decided to do my 55 as a planted tank. I have always wanted one because I think they are so aesthetically pleasing and even calming.
So I ordered the substrate from petco and went with the "Eco complete planted black aquarium substrate". I think it will look nice against my black background already on the tank. What do yall think?
I plan on using some driftwood and some rocks. I would like to get some moss growing on some of the rocks with some type of "grass" in the foreground and taller plants in back.
So, what does everyone think of the plan? Am I on the right track so far? I was thinking of doing a Biotope of a clear water South American river but I dont know if the black substrate would work in that situation but I just like how the substrate looks in other tanks I have seen. I am open to any suggestions that you may have as this is my first planted tank. Thanks.
