Planted Nano Comp Idea.

new thread. E.G. PNC - Broder

 

Cool.... In Planted Tanks? Or here?

 

I dunno. Lets call it planted...

 

well keen on this actually

 

@emocaveduck Didnt know you were in the fresh water side as well?

 

yea brobeans, hahaha, i generally dont post though

 

I've just recently given up the salt water side for a simpler life without salt.

 

yea also chilling away from the darkside for abit, intend to use my old pico for this compo bru

 

So my tank hardscape done.
Planting tomorrow. will load thread in the next few days

 

You can go with any gravel if you want to grow cobra grass. Also cobra grass takes a while to settle in before it actually sends runners. so plant densely. 20w would be more than adequate. Ill even go for a 15w if needed.

And a small trick with these low tech planted tanks that say one cannot add co2 is to do daily water changes. the new water contain a bit of co2 and in this way your plants will grow quicker and you wont have algae issues. So if one should go for this option, remember to dose daily in very small amounts and fertilize after the waterchange.

But good luck to all!!!

 

Three possible ideas......., hard to decide!

The tank, plants sources and possible material:







I am thinking of a natural looking driftwood, or a rocky or an underwater ruins scene.

 

I vote ruin

 

That piece of drift wood in the second pic is a must use!

 

Hi guys 'n gals... a new section has been created for the planted tank entries.

Ok so I dont have a camera only a cellphone so no date stamps
I do have a tank for this and some hard Scapeing bits and pieces ,some java moss , I will see what Else I can do on the weekend ...........and start the tread then

 

Dont strees about datestamps

A combination of the two - both have been done, but not together as far as I know.

Waiting for the silicone to dry, but will post the pics of the construction tonight.
