Hello,
I am new to monsterfishkeepers.com and I have been trying to get into live plants more seriously the past year. Unfortunately it is not going super well. I have had good luck with water sprite, water wisteria, anubias nana, java moss, and a few others. One plant that I really like but struggle with is the vals. I have read many websites saying that this is a good plant for beginners, but have tried with no success. Most of my tanks I use a combination of Seachem Flourish and Seachem Excel. I use Carib sea sand (gold kind). Basically I have recently upgraded my 125 gallon oddball tank to a 180 gallon reef ready system with a sump and refugium. i will be running probably 2-4 T-8 bulbs on top, but might include my 4 ft led light as well or instead of a couple t8s. So basically my question is what are some good plants that I can count on looking as good as those first plants I listed based on my aquarium setup. Any advice would be helpful and appreciated!
