Need relatively easy care plants for 125g

Cryptocorynes. Wendtii in the mid ground. Spiralis along the back and sides.

Java fern tied on the DW would look great

Heres my 125. Yes I know the top is a mess

I was going to mention crypts and on the driftwood id tie java fern and or anubias. All are low light low maintenance plants and that driftwood is begging for some bright green color! Maybe even moss if you like the look. Doesnt get much easier than java moss

I never had good luck with moss. Maybe it likes cooler waters?

Totally forgot about Dwarf Sag. Spreads like crazy when it's happy. I used to pull out bags FULL of it when I had 2 shoplights on my tank like once a month.

Wisteria is good too, but can get crazy when it's happy; though I never like the look of it. Maybe it was TOO green? Good in a nursery tank or QT.

Stems are OK.. but kinda labor intensive. Plus you've got blasting sand? as a substrate which would make planting and staying planted difficult.

Crypts and Dwarf Sag do well for me with minimal maintenance. Higher Ph out of the tap here in NE..Anubias does well if you can keep it shaded. Low light, maybe a few root tabs every few months. 50% WC weekly.

I do inject CO2, but at a lower level cuz the fire eel gets spazzy if I crank it up.

Good current with powerhead..

That pic makes it look like I got a *lot* of light, but it's only a 4 foot 2 bulb shoplight raised 6" off the top. And I still get a little BBA. I don't think you'll ever get rid of it completely. If you do let me know how you did it!

My opinion is that you need fertilization of some sort to avoid the BBA, since the BBA will grow better when the plant growth is poorer. Flourite doesn't really have nutrients in it....you'd be good getting some root tabs and looking into fertilization.
