    Talking 20G Planted

    So last week I thuoght I wanted to do a planted tank so I went down to Pat's house and got some ADA soil and 5 tubes of the AquaFlora plants. The ADA soil is mixed with black sand. I have Lemon Bacopa, Bacopa Myriophylloides, Red Flame Sword, Alternanthera Reineekii and Hair Grass. Then I added the Nutrafin Natural Plant System for CO2. I have a 10,000k bulb. I wanna hear ur thuoghts because I am not sure I put the right plants in the right spots.... ( I am new to this)

    This was when I first planted them a week ago:




    And Now ( a week later):

    Hey Peter.

    I would try to do a slope from back to front. Some wood (manzanita) would look nice. Maybe 2 or 3 pieces of similar stone layed out.

    Feel free to call me.

    Best regards,

    Stuart
