Suggestions?

[K.J.]

Since no one has replied to my journal yet, anyone have suggestions for this tank?

Low light (1.5 wpg, as soon as I get the light)
Nutrafin co2
Java Fern
Anubias
Wisteria
Vallisneria
Ludwigia (will take out)
Lily (will see how it fares in low light, may take it out)

The wisteria needs to grow a bit, and the val will look 100[x] bigger with height.

I think you need more plants obvious I know, but only when you start trying different plants can you decide what you like and dont like and also what works in this tank and what doesn't. Get a cheapo load of plants and start experimenting.

Also, plant lots of fast growing stem plants like Hygrophila polysperma etc, the fast growers will out-compete any algae and should lead to a nice algae free start. Then, when its matured a bit after a few months, start replacing the stems with different plants

Thanks

I'm going to get more anubias, try some hygrophila, etc. What other plants would look good? Is the placement of the driftwood unnatural? A bunch of sides are cut off the large piece, and I'm trying to keep those from showing.
