Hello
Due to me moving to another country, I abandoned this hobby almost 5 years ago, but I couldn't resist any longer so I finally got a new tank.
It's a biorb baby, not the best tank you van find, but it was free and as student every little helps.
Now, the main problem is the filtration. The bowl has an air filter, and the gravel at the bottom is part of it. Putting gravel in it means blocking the filter. My solution was to put dirt in half of the tank (going for natural style) and keeping the stones in the other half. Now it looks like a pokeball.
As landscape, I'm thinking to put an anubias Nana between the gravel and earth, so that it can attach to the rocks, just behind it a cryptocoryne or other plant with big leaves and cover the rest of the dirt with eleocharis.
What do you think?
Suggestions or ideas?
I'm thinking to do a dry start, so please suggest me some plant that can grow emersed.
I started with planting some eleocharis, how long does it take for it to start growing?
I removed the Java fern, my shop sold me just leaves, no rhizome or roots, quite angry about that
