Hi guys, in the near future im going to have a complete rescape of my 2ft cube and Ive decided I want to plant it up. Its 165 litres or so, and its going to be a nice peaceful community type setup.
Just after some ideas and advice really. Im thinking of using sand, do I need say a fertilised substrate or can I get away with root tabs underneath?
Im thinking, ill deck it with lots of dritwood, and plants like java fern, vallis and maybe some anubias nana. How does this sound?
As for ferts, im thinking TPN is meant to be the best. I was also thinking of using easylife liquid carbon (I dont want to go for a full pressurised setup), is this ok? and what is the easylife Profito like compared to TPN?
So to conclude
2ft Cube (165 litres)
-Sand and Root tabs
-Driftwood
-Java Fern, Vallis, anubias nana ( also got some java moss)
-Easylife Liquid Carbo
-TPN or Profito???
-Lighting will prob be t5 ( around 1-1.5 wpg, is this ok?)
Also, can someone recommend a carpeting plant that would do well in these conditons please.
How does this sound? Thanks for any advice, and sorry its sooooo long winded. Any other information needed, just ask.
Cheers
