How does my substrate idea sound?
Hi all,
I'm new to the planted aquarium world (have not been successful with plants in the past). I have "invested" quite a bit of money lately on tools and equipment to get my new planted tank started. I bought myself the Hagen CO2 Natural Plant System, some nice river sand, API's First Layer Laterite (which I plan to mix with my brown quartz gravel). I also got one of those gravel tidies made by underworld. I also have some Bioplast "MonoPur" filter peat. I'm scared, I'm not sure I'm doing this right but here is my idea: I will first put a thin layer of the filter peat, then approximately 3 inches of the laterite/gravel mix, then put the gravel tidy over this, then place 2 inches of the river sand. Does this sound okay? Has anyone done this before? I would really appreciate your help! My tank details: 14 Gallons/50 litres (15H x 18W x 10D) 1.6 Watts of light/Gallon PH: 7.8 GH: 15 dH Plant list: Cryptocoryne Wendtii "Brown" Anubias Barteri "Coffeefolia" Echinodorus Osiris (Rubra) Lysimachia Nummularia 'Aurea' Ludwigia Glandulosa "Perennis" Limnophila Heterophylla Hemygraphis Colorata Echinodorus Parviflorus 'Tropica' |
