Hi everybody, i hope you can help.
I'm about to set up a 24"x12"x12" tropical tank with JBL Aquabasis substrate (with a layer of gravel on top)
Hagen Nutrafin CO2 and 4 WPG of lighting.
Where should i get my plants from and which plants should i get! (BTW i'm in the UK)
I'm looking for some advice on buying plants online. Where's good?
There are so many places online, I'm looking for a good mix of quality and value for money.
So far i've had a look at www.plantsalive.co.uk, Java-plants, Greenline and Ebay.
Once i've decided where to get the plants from comes the fun bit, what plants should I get?
The plant collections sound interesting, you know the ones, 24" collection 60ish plants. The collections look like good value for money but I reckon an aquascape with a smaller number of different plants will look better. I'm thinking larger areas of 6 different species, rather than smaller areas of 12 different species.
This is a new setup so I believe i'll need some fast growing species to keep the algae under control. (is this correct?) So could anyone suggest a selection of plants suitable for a new setup 24"x12"x12" tank with DIY CO2 and 4WPG?
As I said before, I hope you can help!
