Hi all,
Not quite sure where to post this as i see from the plant swop page that your not supposed to request plants.
I finally got a bigger tank as my clown and plec are out growing my 55l tank very quickly
I have bought a 220l tank, fluval 404, laterite and subtrate, and want to set it up as a planted tank (not done this before eek!). I've been looking at the planted tanks on the forum and they are lovelly so have picked out some plants that i like and hopefully someone will have some cuttings for me to buy so i can give it a go. Not to sure about lighting although i've read the section in the forum and it still confuses me (easily confused). I was wanting to keep the tank the way it is with the wooden hood on the top but not sure about what lighting to go in it so any advise and links as to where to get would be most appreciated. also, any advise on fertilisers etc.. Well i did say i dont know alot about planted tanks lol.
I'm after these plants
Vallisneria spiralis
Amazon Swords
echinodorus "red flame"
Java Fern
Tiger Lotus Lilly
Java Moss
Dwarf Riccia
Micro Sword
Micranthemum umbrosum
Riccia Fluitians
