I want to add some hardy, easy to grow, low maintainance plants to my 180g. Bogwood and rocks are ok if arranged nicely but I think it's time for a bit of greenery now. Thing is, it's a bare bottom tank and I don't want to go back to substrate.
I was wondering if I got some small flowerpots, or similar, and added my growing media to the pots and capped off with substrate, and then added my plants, mainly amazon swords probably. I'd then wedge the pots in between rocks and stuff.
Sounds easy enough and Amazon swords are one of the easiest to grow I believe so I shouldn't have any problems, right?
I wasn't planning on ferts or CO2 or the latest lighting tech.
Just wondering if any of you guys with bare bottom tanks have your plants potted in this way or are water column feeding plants probably a better option?
