Hi Everyone,
After shutting down my previous tank (a high tech, sumped 20 long) due to moving, I am back with two new mental health distractions aka planted tanks!
This time round I'm hoping to keep things lower maintenence and thus have decided to go with high tech and medium-low light. My ultimate goal is have these tanks on a two week water change schedule and filled with mostly slow growers like anubias, buce, and crypts.
Tank 1:
29 gallon
Substrate: BDBS
Light: Finnex Ray 2 dual 7K
Filter: oase thermomaster 350
Co2: Yes, inline reactor
Hardscape: eucalyptus root
Tank 2:
Fluval flex 15
Substrate: BDBS
Light: Stock
Filter: Stock with extra sponge
Co2: Yes, ceramic diffuser
Hardscape: spiderwood
I dark started both tanks using frozen shrimp and tetra safe start for about 2 weeks. The cycle isn't fully done but is progressing nicely with ammonia and nitrite both starting to drop.
Yesterday I got the first round of plants in. Nothing fancy or well thought out yet, just what I could get my hands on locally to start building plant mass and start getting things established.
