Start of planted 10g

Nice to see more and more planted tanks popping up... going to be interesting to watch how it comes along...

 

[keith42]

So I started a diy co2 system. It makes a huge difference in The plants. I'm really excited about this tank. Here's some more pics



now I've just got to figure out a way to hide my co2 line..

 

[Fat Homer]

I normally hide mine behind some drfitwood or among some tall dense plants...

Trim the grass, it will get it to spread faster. You are running just a low-tech thing here right? Its not bad looking, that sword will become a monster in due time though

What's the list of plants in here, and any fish or inverts you are thinking of doing?

lol the sword is already growing insanely fast. as soon as i started my diy c02 everything has really has taken off. i want to get a pair of apistogrammas in there but im still work on getting my water conditions right so ive got three leopard danios in for now.

you mentioned trimming my grass. how low should i cut it? should i leave the clippings or pull them? im getting shoots now but it would be nice to see it move faster.

the plant stock is as follows: (ive added since last pics so ill get some new ones up
dwarf hair grass
ludwigia repens
dwarf saggitaria
amazon sword
ozelot sword
java moss
and i have one unidentified plant. my lfs just gave it to me when i picked up the danios. ill post some picks and see if anyone can identify it.

the plant right behind my driftwood to the right of my co2 line is the unidentified. i love the way it looks and would love to know what it is

Can you get a pic of just the unknown plant? I have a few ideas but I need a close pic.

Also, cut t as short as you want, even down to the substrate. Toss the clippings though, only stem plants can be propagated that way.
