Hi guys,
I was I picked a dennerle nano cube 30L for the missus to play with as a shrimp tank. She wants it to be low maintenance so I am keeping low tech. The problems then starts that she wants to scape it as an "island" type setup with grass around some central rock and just a stem plant behind that rock.
This is where I need your help what grass like options do I have in a low tech and do they even carpet? If not can I do a dry start to get the carpet and then flood it or will plants not do well on the transition? I was thinking something like hairgrass,monte carlo, Hydrocotyle tripartita, Vallisneria and some buces.
I am aware that both the Vallisneria and the buces won't be able to be in the dry start phase. But can mosses be dry started as well?
Also how does Vallisneria copes with soft water?
Plants is simply tropica substrate capped with tropica soil.
