Seedling
Evening everyone, going to be putting together a scape in a 35L nano tank for shrimps nearer to Christmas, I have everything I need from the tank itself, to the lily pipes for the external filter. Except of course the plants.
I'm going to go with something simple, I have two large lumps of lava rock and a few smallish ones, so I'm intending on having two high areas divided by the rocks and a sanded clear channel up the middle, sloped backwards. I'm going to be ordering plants online as LFS doesn't have much selection. This is my first time doing so, so would like advice on when the best day to order them would be? The morning, the day before planting?
I've got a small pressurized CO2 system, powerful lighting and ADA amazonia substrate soil and will fertilize with ferropol 24 and weekly. I know I want some sort of carpeting plants for the lower areas, but am stumped for which plants to get. First, how many individual types to get, how much quantity of each, and which? Some advice on ideal plants for my setup, or simply, for a beginner would be great. I was reading about super gluing some plants like moss onto my lava rock, advisable?
Thanks very much.
