Little help to plant this tank please guys, i'm as new as they come with the planting side of things too :lol:

No CO2,
Lighting is 1x Hagen Aqua-Glo T8 and 1x Hagen Power-Glo T8 both 15watt i think,
Using Flora-Grow Liquid at the moment as my LFS suggested it to help as my light unit broke for a long time.

Here's the tank so far, i've only really been working on the wood scape and plants so far.
Plant back right is fake but ofc you know this :lol:. Anubias Nana is tied to a rock placed behide the wood.

Invest in some various crypts mate. Excellent plants once they adjust to your water conditions and will grow fine under you lighting. A nice big chunk of Java Fern will also add to the scape and give the impression of a fairly well planted tank if you get a decent sized plant. Don't forget it will need tying to some wood or a rock though etc. Some Elodea will also replace the fake plant quite well. :)

my 2p worth at the mo, (this is a comment not a critisism) would be that the 2 stones right of centre are in a straight line with the airstone/bubbley thing at the back.

This tends to draw the eye to bubbley curtain thing. (or maybe thats just me) If thats what you want as a focus, fair enough.

+1 on the crypts.Good start though

Cheers guys, will look into them now :good:

@ Stu40, the stones are pretty much just thrown in at the moment and i will be replacing them for darker stones eventually. I see what you're saying though and i'll watch out for the placement of the stones in future :good:
