My First Planted Tank Thread!

[kavin2845]

I am leaving the poop in but I have a dirt tank with gravel top. As for fish, give the plants some time to get in and established, they will need some nitrates, so if you have an established tank, pour a few cups worth in the plant tank.

Snail like that don't put in. If you found one, there are more. I Had them in a 29g and 4 years later I am still squishing them.

All the sand I capped with is from a cycled tank !

So the tanks good got rid of the worms!

Got this weird growth on the java fern that wasn't there when I got it dont know if that's good or bad

Anubias is looking pretty crappy which is a good thing cause then my mom will learn to listen -_- and a bad thing cause I feel bad for the plant

Got some algae on plants and glass but I can't decide on what to get probably getting ghost shrimp cause I can find any other kind 😢 but ill make it look cool 😁
Ill probably buy some more java fern
Oh and the ryzome ( I think that's how it's spelt) is getting bigger on the java fern which is good I guess lol

Not sure what the reason is behind you wanting to move the plants from the 2.5g to the 10g, but i guess they should be okay...

The only thing you will need to be careful of is algae, since 10K bulbs can be known to cause outbreaks if left on too long...

Also are you adding any ferts to this tank

And for algae I can get alot of shrimp for that and will be getting a timer soon so I can keep a strict schedule and what are ferts? If I need them I can get them.

By Ferts, i meant as in Fertilizers... as for the 10G, no reason why you couldn't move the plants over just to see if you get any improvement on your plants... but one thing i forgot to ask is, do you have the whole Anubias plant including the rhizome buried under the substrate, since if you do, that could also be whats causing your anubias to suffer...

I researched on these two plants and knew to not burry it so I tied to a rock

And I also heard about floating the plants? It's supposed to get roots longer not sure?
