Sabrina's 5 Gallon Planted Tank

[Splendid Splendens]

Here is my 5g planted tank, for the record most of the plants were just put in last night and this is my first attempt at a real planted tank.

I want to replace the cheesy backdrop with either solid black or white, but the man likes the one that's on there.







The light is a 14 watt 6700k CFL bulb, the substrate is sand with gravel underneath and I am dosing with Flourish Excel.

I set this tank up with Scarlet Badis in mind, they're the apple of my eye.
I will probably put some shrimp in there too. Hopefully Blue Pearls.

Sorry for the photo quality. I'm still learning to use my new camera.

I guess that's it for now - thanks for looking!

Thanks a lot!

Don't hold your breath for the stock though - I am still trying to get some of those little Scarlet gems!
Canadian Aquatics has some lovely Blue Pearls at a decent price, but I'm not %100 settled on those yet. It's the Badis I really want!!!

For now I stuck a few Guppies in there to "liven it up" and keep the bottom from getting messy with plant debris.
