Planted Nano

[KabobSoldier]

How's it going guys? After having to shut down my 210G bichir tank I decided to create a planted nano tank. This tank has been set up for about a week now. I'm a beginner in the planted tank world so I'm still learning new things. Hope you guys like it.

Substrate: 50/50 MTS and Safe T Sorb capped with Safe T Sorb
Lighting: 24W 6500k CFL
Hardscape: Dragon Stone
Plants: Hygrophila, S. repens, and Monte Carlo
Fish: Neon Tetras and Red Cherry Shrimp
Dosing: Flourish Excel 1.2mL daily
Ferts: Osmocote Plus and Potassium Chloride salt under substrate

Here is an updated picture. It's gone through some changes and has grown in quite well.

For someone who is new to planted tanks, you seem to have a real knack for it..,

Haha thanks, I really appreciate that. I've always been good with gardening so I guess my green thumb kind of carried over

^ that would explain a lot then... at least you have the benefit of added knowledge before getting into the planted tank world...
