hiii ima , starting a planted rcs tank! i have eco-complete substrate over about 1 inch of gravel. 2x14watt cf bulbs and a 15 watt flouresant tube for a total of 43 watts(i think!). i have DIY CO2 going into the filter intake. i have a whisper 10 power filter.
now for questions!
1) ive ordered a few plants from aquariumplants.com here is the order:
Glossostigma (Glossostigma elatinoides) (i know im noob but i had to )
Bacopa (Bacopa carolina)
Wendtii, Green (Cryptocoryne wendtii)
Tiger Lotus, Green (Nymphaea zenkeri)
Sword, Red Melon (Echinodorus Barthii v. "red melon")
ive read that the tiger lotus and swords will be too big for my tank, so im going to cancel those. my question is, are those plants ok with my light/tank? and what other plants go well with RCS in a 10 gallon with 43 watts?
2) i want to use fertalizers, but im unsure where to buy them, and what to do with them.
