Hey all; I've recently got a 10 gallon tank and in a couple of month(maybe weeks depends on when we set up and start cycling) We were going to go for the classic look tacky gravel and plastic plants but i was starting to look at having a planted tank.
1.How difficult would upkeep be compared to having plastic plants? It sounds very daunting but i love the idea
2. What kind of lighting would i need? My tank came with a "Sun Glo Fluorescent T8 Bulb 15 Watt".
3. Do i need to use any kind of special substrate? I'd assume a nutrient rich type if you can get those
4. What kind of plants would be most beneficial ? I was hoping to have a single male Betta and perhaps a few shrimp
5. Is there any special equipment or products i'd need to get?
I have a 10 gallon with hood and lighting fixture,
Sun Glo Fluorescent T8 Bulb 15 Watt bulb,
Marina Slim s10 external style filter with Bio carb tropical cartridge
50Watt heater
Nutrafin duo - AquaPlus Tap water conditioner and Cycle biological aquarium supplement
Any advice will be muchly appreciated
