Im working away from home right now so all I have is a 5.5 gallon tank. I turned it into a planted tank.

2 Glass Catfish
Anubias on Driftwood
Dwarf Hairgrass
Dwarf Baby Tears
Pygmy Chain Sword (large runners)

Let me know what you think and Im always open to suggestions.

I wouldn't go to crazy soliciting the opinions of others its what you like that counts... Now you did ask so.... just kidding I'm not going to steer you one way or the other. You may want to give yourself sometime to see new growth.

Are you using a diy yeast/sugar co2 setup?

 

[Bercume3]

co2 is from a system i bought at petco. seems to work alright but the regulator is extremely hard to adjust.

Nice little set up. Remember to turn off the CO2 at night or you'll gas the fish. It's happened to me on a few occasions. So I switched to a bigger pressurized CO2 system with a solenoid on a timer.

i think a second or larger light would benefit your plants, but the setup looks nice!

I turn the co2 and lights off every night, I only run the co2 for about 4 hours a day but the light runs all day. Im really trying to get the HC (dwarf baby tears) to carpet, any suggestions?

it's going to be a beauty when the plants start to fill out.
