I’m taking my first step into aquascaping and high-tech planted aquariums. This may sound a silly question but I wondered if I could ask about 1-2-grow plants and how many you tend to need.
My tank is 81cm wide and 38cm deep. I am largely trying to copy a Brazilian style I have seen and the layout will be similar to this, which is a roughly similar size tank (a little bigger):
One difference is that I won’t be using the HC/Eleocharis and instead will just stick with the Monte Carlo and LB. So for where the HC/Eleocharis is indicated, that will be more MC/LB.
Could anyone give me an idea of how many of each 1-2-grow pots I will need of each species. I’ve read that one portion of a plant can cover a 5cm x 5cm space. Is that right? If so, the Tropica descriptions suggests each plant has 6-8 potions, is that right? I might have my own answer if so.
Sorry for the silly question. Just want to get my first order as right as I can, rather than massively under or worse, over!
Really appreciate any help offered.
