New Face Lift And Planted Some Live Plants

[stacey3272]

Ok well now is the waiting game. I spent the day redoing fish tank. I hope I did this right.
So i did a layer of flourite and sand cap. Attached my fern to drift wood.  I guess all I can do is wait and see if they live. I do have root tab. do you need them with having the flourite on bottom.  Does it hurt to add to give it a boost being newly planted? Just need another piece of drift wood with maybe some java moss on it. I think its a good start. Hope to add fish in a week after I know all is going well.  Merry Christmas to me Thanks to all those that have helped me in the past week and advice you have given me.  I will keep you all update if this tank takes off.
 
ps I am liking the black background

I like! Can you post the before picture as welll? It is always good to add root tabs, especially for those swords you have. The other, they'd prefer trace elements fertilizers

 is trace elements fertilizers 

 a brand or a certain kind of fert... How do yu know what kind of fert to use. I might add a java moss or anubis  on drift wood  but not much more intil I know i can grow the plants. I really do not want to deal with co2

anubias and java moss will do great without any high tech stuff

I personally use seachem flourish but I'm sure you can use other alternatives..

You don't need a lot tho since you don't have a lot of plants
