Ok first i feel like i should share my plan with you all-
This isnt going to be easy,but i feel up to the challenge of making something good using only about 3 kinds of plants. Being so limited not many people have ever tried this. But I assure you that i will make something that looks very good and hopefully maybe somone might try this some day.
Any ideas or helpfull criticism is greatly appreciated so dont hold back
If its Stared********** i need help with
Major Challenges-well for one with the amount of lighting to grow plants(Algea) and also this is a tall tank so bair with me trying to find ways to make use of the height.
Ok Lets Start With The Basics:
Tank Volume -48 US gal 36x24x13(again its a tall tank)
Filtration Type-Well right now I have a crummy power filter,but i will be getting a canister for this:Mostly Likely Rena:Fil Star 75 Gal
Lighting Type*- DIY Fixture-3 20 Watt Tubes 2 sun glow,1 power glow( i know you would usally need more but for ferns i think that will be ok)
CO2 Method of injection- None
Substrate Type-4 Inches 50/50 Mixed half aragamax,half Moon Sand- Here/Here-cant find the link for it(same maker as tahitan Black Moon Sand)
Fertilisation Types- Just the basic meat and potatoes for this.
Water chemistry- pH 8.0, Am-0,Nitrite-0,Nitrate 10ppm Temp-80F
Maintenance- Water changed,Routein Cleaning,Algea destroying
Fish list of species- *Need Some Help With this-6x Blue Legged Hermits,15xBBG,LOTS OF NERITE SNAILS, NEED TOP DWELLER
Plants list of species-*Java Fern(lots),Java Moss,Cryptocoryn Cillata,Brackish Sea Grasses(i have not a clue where to buy this)
Decor types- For decor there will obviously be Limestone Stones,Various other stones for Java Fern to stick to ETC
Additional comments- 1 powerhead too,to keep things moving
