No one doing FW planted?

[whatever]

I'll start, 1-20gallon, 1-22 gallon, 1-2.5 FW planted, anubias and a collection of crypts and some pennywort, driftwood.... No CO2, really low budget setups.

[ajn81]

My 9 gallon is still going string...see signature. And about to start up a 2 gallon FWP at work.

[whatever]

looking good, I started with frags from Paul (socalboo). I can't remember the name of the larger floating plant (not duckweed) looking for a few....

[619andyp]

I have lots of Java Moss for free if anyone needs. Although I wouldn't turn down a frag in return...

[gnarlyfish]

I have a 60 gal with assorted rainbows, cardinals, and rummy nose tetras.

[jasonmrcdd]

I actually just started cycling my first few plated tank. It's a 30 Gallon hex tank with fluorite substrate, 3x26 watt cfl 6500k bulbs, DIY co2 (well, co2 after I set it up). It will house my figure 8 puffer after it is cycled cause he is in a ten now and he will eventually out grow it. I will post pics after it is fully planted and cycled..

[Elias]

I have a lot of fake plants, rock, pebbles. Chemicals, test kits if anyone wants them

[SolRo]

I'm going through the paces of setting up a nano planted tank, in the gathering equipment stage.

Planning for a lawn-type with shrimp and maybe neon tetras.

I got one, haven't done a water change in year. It has a couple tetras, a MASSIVE ribbed newt, and a pair of some blueface apistos from the fish auction.

Used to have full compressed CO2 until my chinchilla got behind the tank and knocked over the cylinder.

[smirkis]

[offroad537]

Still growing it out.

24/7 UV sterilizer, inline heater, inline co2 diffuser, inline automatic dosing, automatic lights that fade on and off with sunset, co2 solenoid timer also self adjusts to sunset/sunrise.

Going to be a gorgeous show tank with all the tech to boot.

2 tanks for me -
40 gallon community, LED, CO2
125 still deciding how to restock, LED, CF's, CO2

I'm planning on moving/trimming soon and will have a ton of Wendti brown and moss and probably some other stuff, too. I'll post when I decide what I am going to do.

...you are :lol:

But that's going to look awesome when the foreground (glosso?) grows in. I want to do a reef like that, but with GSP instead. :D

Planted tanks were how I got started in the hobby, jeez like ten years ago? This was my favorite tank, just before I started dabbling in saltwater. This was for the $200 tank challenge on apc. I think I came in around $180 for everything.

Livestock was Wisteria, glossostigma, crypts, java fern, and baby tears. I'd love to do a low light crypt tank someday.

Trying to aqua scape with gsp in my 60 gal cube.

[Dr. Suess210]

So I purchased a Finnex Ray II and i think i may have gotten the wrong light for my planted tank. I got the ray II DB (10000 k/ actinic) instead of the ray II DS (7000k) which is for planted tanks. I need some advice on it.. Apparent from what I'm reading is that plants need anywhere from 5000k to 10000k and also absorb blue light well, but when i put on the light (only because i prefer the blue) some plants started browning. Just looking for some tips on this. Yes i do know (at least now) that the DB is for Marine tanks. I didn't know when i bought it but i really do enjoy the blue.

[davocean]

Just set this up this weekend, 17G Mr Aqua low iron, eco-complete soil.
Keeping this low tech.
Now I'm trying to decide what I want for fish...

This was my last planted which was also my first attempt at a low tech planted tank.

^^ AH nice low tech!lol

Yeah no rinse on the eco.
I'm not sure if I'm going to put any kind of substrate on top or not, kind of like the black and my plants should cover the bottom as they grow out.

[johnc]

Thanks guys, I will go with the Eco, pretty cheap off Amazon. Think I have decided that the aquapod24 I just picked up will be a planted. Will post pics as it happens.

Still waiting to see if the new Finnex led setup will be worth it.

[davocean]

Made some scape adjustments and a couple additions, kitty approves...
