Well thank you very much for your 2 cents, I really appreciate any help and advice I can get from anyone with this!!!Hey,
Great start! Hope things turn out well.
Just an FYI, you will never get the amount of CO2 necessary to sustain plant life out of those air stones. I would suggest a CO2 infusion of some sorts. Just my two cents.
I hope you are wrong about that but you are not the first person to tell me that, I just really really don't want to put co2 on this tank...
Good news is I have a little update on the project... I took all the purple waffle and aluminum plants out of the tank and took them back to the store to get my money back. I then went to Petco to see what kind of plants they had, here is a list of what I picked up:
Malaysian Red. ( Microsorium pteropus )
Anubias sp.
Java fern " Narrow leaf". x 3
Compacta ( Hygrophila Corymbosa Stricta )
Crested Java Fern.
Wisteria ( hygrophila Difformis )
So did I do better with these ones? I looked them all up real fast on my phone at the store and didn't find anything bad about them but I'm sure you guys would know more then I ...
I will get some new pictures as soon as I get them in the tank!!! Thanks again everyone for all the kind words and great advice...
