My 10 Gallon Heavily Planted Tank

[hakova]

Hi all,

I started this tank in June, planted and stocked it in July 2009. I couldn't get the HC to carpet, instead sagittaria took of as you can see. I still like the lush green growth and don't mind mowing the lawn every weekend . I hope you enjoy.

Filter: Eheim Ecco 2232
Lighting: T5 x2 10K and 6K, 7 hours daily
Substrate: Eco complete black
CO2: Two yeast bottles through a powerhead
Ferts: EI dosing + Fluorish Excel 2 ml daily
Plants: Sagittaria subulata (originally 10 roots), HC (originally 4 pots), java fern (originally 3 plants), anubias barteri v nana (1 plant), riccia (on the rocks)
Stock: Harlequin rasboras (x6), golden algae eater (x1), snails (Bladder/Tadpole/Pouch Snails - Family Physidae, 5 or more)

Wow! That looks great! Some neons/cardinals would look great in there.

Thank you. I was planning to add 6 cardinals actually this weekend, which didn't happen; but it will soon .
