Thought I'd start a journal to document my first planted tank!
I've got so far:
Fluval Spec V (white)
Tropica Aquarium Soil (3kg)
Wood
Still to buy:
Heater
Plants
I'm aiming to make this low tech, using Easycarbo and The Aquascaper Complete Plant Food.
So far the wood and tropica aquarium soil are in, I'm aiming to give this 2-3 weeks to soak before getting my plants, the filter will run in this time so the water doesn't stagnate but the lights will be off.
It was tough to find a piece of wood that would fit the narrow depth, but I'm really happy with this piece, it's exactly what I had envisaged, and only £10.50! I used an entire 3kg bag of aquarium soil and it ended up being the perfect amount, allows me to bank it slightly in some areas but still have a good coverage.
Ramekins for weight!
