First Attempt On A Planted Tank

[puppyjess123]

Cleared nicely over night, hoping to get an answer for above ^^ ?

Also I was wondering my amazon swords are turning brown around the edges What should i do? Im not sure if you can see it as my camera is bad but heres a pic anyway.

On aqua essentials with my list of plants should I buy a liquid fertilisr like TPN+ or root tabs :?

Thanks,

Thanks,

The rosette is the bit where all of the leaves grow from.

Any advice here?

Am I right in thinking you have potassium nitrate (Kno3) and mono Potassium phosphate (KH2PO4)?

If possible can you post a picture of the base of the plant in its current position?

 

[puppyjess123]

Yes thats right but it says on the box just: Pottasium phosphate, no mono

Heres some pics of the base. Theres two seperate plants.

Thanks,

pull the up a little so its just the roots in the gravel, they maybe wilting because they're going from an ermersed to a submersed environment.

Heres some wood i've got from the oak tree. will let it dry for a month or so, then soak it and put it in the tank. Saves me a fair bit of money, £30 for a peice of wood at P@H

Stripped the bark off and going to cut the brown bits off soon.

Heres the bits which i cant get off

Was in with the rabbits and couldnt resist taking some pictures of them

Yes Dylan likes to go in the bin

Nosy rabbit

Oooh carrot

Bought some root tabs off e-bay. Bargain about a fiver when 36 on aquaessentials are £15. Also have my own 2 litre bottle of plant fertiliser. Contains 11 teaspoons pottasium nitrate, 1 teaspoon magnesium sulphate & 1 teaspoon pottasium phosphate and dechlorinated water. Might buy some easy carbo as well

Plants are here and need you guys to identify them and tell me how to plant them. I must say this guy is great, a fiver for about 6 fully grown amazon swords and loads of others when at P@H its 7.50 for three plantss

Ok here they are. Some have no roots, so i was wondering how i plant these?

Cheers.

1+2 Hygrophila polysperma, 3 unsure, 4 Cryptocoryne wenditii, 5, Microsorum pteropus.

 

[puppyjess123]

And all of them go into the gravel right? None need to go on bogwood, rocks etc

Thanks

 

[Truck]

The Microsorum pteropus should go on wood, superglue them on. The remaining plants plant into the substrate, the ones without roots, strip the leaves off about 2 inches from the bottom, and plant the bare stem into the substrate, and roots will grow.
