Well, I've finally collected everything for my plant-tank! Hooray! Well, I'm actually still waiting for the substrate to be delivered because I couldn't buy it locally, but it shouldn't be long.
I have a 5.5 gallon tank (16" x 8" x 10"). Right now lighting is a 15 watt flourescent stip light (I'm concerned about how well this is going to work). I'm using eco-complete for substrate, and I have this CO2 kit (which I still need to read more about haha).
Anyway, I'm beginning to research plants that would be appropriate for the size, lighting, etc. of my tank. (I should probably check the pH & hardness too shouldn't I?)
I'd love some suggestions of plants to research (foreground, mid, & background varieties). I'll probably be ordering all the plants online as well because none of the LFS around me carry any nice plants. So links would be helpful too. In particular, I'd like to try my hand at some type of groundcover -- any suggetsions on that? I was thinking maybe dwarf hairgrass??
