Here are just some pictures of my planted tank that I decided to finally post after a while. In the tank I have dwarf sag, ultricularia graminifolia, giant hairgrass, water sprite lace, ludwigia cuba, vesuvius sword, flame moss, and some lindernia rotundifolia. If anyone has suggestions on where things would look better then just let me know, any constructive criticism is good as well. I have a koval LED light as well as co2.20161129_124121.jpg 20161129_124133.jpg 20161129_124139.jpg 20161129_124145.jpg 20161129_124109.jpg 20161129_124151.jpg

Looks good.. just wait until it starts filling out. are you doing any ei dosing? just asking cause with the added co2 and lights your tank would really take off with some dosing. also IME you can keep the hair grass from browning by adding some root tabs

as of right now i'm not dosing but I will be soon, I will most likely be getting flourish excel if it's a pretty good product to dose, I will also pickup root tabs while im at the fish store too most likely
 
You do not need excel if you are using co2 . don't buy the root tabs from the lfs, try to find someone selling oscomote + tabs they work the best ... go to theplantedtank.net, it's a great forum for planted tanks. my apologies if I'm not allowed to post other sites here.

what should I be dosing in the tank then? Would it just be easier to make the oscomote root tabs myself?
 
If you have the oscomote then yeah make em yourself , that's what I did... it's been a long time since I had a planted tank, Google ei dosing and it will tell you what you need but with the plants you currently have between the co2, your lights and root tabs you should be fine.
