I have a lightly planted 55 gal. The plants are doing well. It's low tech only 1 wpg + natural light. I use Flourish excel Iron and Flourish tabs That I stick in the sand. I only have a breeding pair of acaras and a medusa pleco in the tank for now.
The 36 Gal has been set up for 2 years now. I just redid the substrate from big gravel to Sand with a dash of small gravel. I took out the ugly cheap fake log and added rocks and more wood. I have fake plants in till my new light comes.
This tank will have 1.8 wpg just a little bit of natural light. I will use the same stuff as I do for the 55 gal. only thing is I did not put a layer of Leterite with this tank. Here are my plant picks.
Java moss ( has been the only plant in the tank for 1 year)
3 Ceratopteris thalictroides "Watersprite"
3 Crypt spiralis
7 Sagittaria subulata "Dwarf Subulata"
2 Cryptocoryne pontederiifolia
1 Crypt petchii
Maybe some java fern on the wood. I have lots of baby from my 55 gal.
Here are the before and afters.
After but still fake plants. Not looking the best but you get an idea.
