Help For A Nervous Newbie

[David J]

Hi PS3Steveo

This is the description of my lights as it appears on the retailers website:

Fluval GLO lighting unit,
One Power-Glo Fluorescent Aquarium Tube 15W 45.72cm (18in) T8
One Aqua-Glo Fluorescent Aquarium Tube 15w 45.72cm (18in) T8

I intend on attaching the moss to some bogwood which I already have. I take it I can't plant the anubias straight into the sand? If not, I am looking to get a medium sized rock. Could I tie it to that, and will it eventually hold itself? Can you recommend a fertiliser? I have no idea what I'm looking for at all really.

Thanks for your help,

David

Right, you have some low light there so fine for all the lowlight species mentioned, your always better off attaching the Anubias to a rock or wood as it the horizontal root (Rhizome) gets buried in the substrate it will rot. You wont need ferts if only having a few plants but if you decide to plant more heavily you could get some Neutro T from Aqua Essentials or TNC lite from The Nutrient Company.
