Nano cube 20cm

[edustarling]

After a long time dedicating all my (hobbyist) time to my discus aquarium, I finally started a project dedicated to aquatic plants. I've seen some videos about the dry start method and decided to try it here. As I have a podcast in portuguese talking about aquariums, I'm using this cube as a learning experience to share with my listeners.

I'm starting with this:
20cm glass cube (bought online)
Sunsun led AD-150 (5W)
1kg gravel
some aquasoil (from a local brand called Induspharma)
1 seiryu stone
1 dragonstone
1 small piece of driftwood
Anubia nana
Anubia petit
Callitriche sp. (Callitriche sp. - Aquários Plantados)
Microsorum pteropus
Limmnophila sessiliflora

30 days later:
Carpets plants are not spreading as I thought they would. Anubias are fine, so are the limnophilas. I waited another 15 days before flooding the aquarium
