What To Plant In My Nano

[MHunt]

What plants does anyone suggest for an aqua one 320 planted nano. It currently has a soil and gravel mix substrate and two pieces of bogwood as the hardscaping. I want to put some kind of ground cover plant at the front of the tank (hairgrass or similar), some java fern growing off one of the pieces of bogwood, then a couple of feature plants at the back. It's going to be very heavily planted with pretty much all the substrate covered if possible. The tank is filtered with a Fluval 2+. I don't have any CO2 injection at the moment, i may use CO2 tabs if necessary and if these will be adequate. I don't want to use it at all if possible, just plant ferts. Try and keep the setup really low tech.

All suggestions will be welcome.

Check out the pinned list of easy care plants by Llj (link in my sig) most of them would do, providing you get ones that wont get to big. FYI forget the CO2 tables, they are pretty useless IMHO, a nutrafin or nothing would be better than the unstable CO2 you';ll get from the tablets. Also hairgrass is best for high light tanks, its a tricky one to grow.

Thanks for that, I guess it was a bit cheeky asking for suggestions without looking first myself. I just wanted some ideas of what had worked for other people. I've been looking at the Tropica website, their online catalogue is great
