I've recently purchases a Aqua One AquaNano 40 tank and I would like to set it up as a planted tank, but I could use some help.
I got some bogwood, bit bigger then I anticapated, but you can see the tank layout.
1st thing I need help with, is selecting some plants. I would really like some kind of carpet plant for the front of the tank.
As for the back and round the left side, I really have no idea what to put there.
Are there any viable plants I can attach to the wood itself?
I don't plan on adding CO2 to this tank, but is it worth changing my lights? I'm having trouble finding out what wattage they actually are.
What substrate/soil should I use? I always thought a black substrate with green plants always looked nice.
I'm going to use RO water because my tap water is rather hard and pretty poor, can anyone recommend a product to "re-mineralise" it? I was thinking about Seachem Equilibrium.
Stock wise, I was aiming for mainly shrimp with some Cardinal/Neon Tetras. Is it worth investing in ceramic noodles for the filter?
Should I be looking into any ferts?
I great appreciate any help.
