hi everyone,
well i think im almost done with my planted brackish 10g. may just add some narrow leaf java ferns and be done with it. the anubias has still yet to attach to the lace rock cave. the watersprite is planted in the pot with a flourish tab. i chose these plants because they seem to be easy to grow and maintain especially having the ability to do well in low salt gravity. my goal is to eventually transfer everything here to a 60g and add more types of brackish plants.
here are the details about the tank:
water tests:
7.0 pH
8 KH
ammonia: 0ppm
nitrites: 0ppm
nitrates: 20ppm
salt gravity: 1.006
using prime
dosing: weekly api leaf zone + flourish tabs
Co2: nutrafin system with redstar yeast - .33bps ladder diffuser
filtration: whisper 10i + aquaclear 20 w/ powerhead filter (no carbon)
lighting: 2 screw in CFL 20w daylight 6700k = 4wpg
plants: 2 rhizomes of anubias bateri eyes, a bunch of anacharis, water sprite, java moss on decor + on floating cork, 2 marimo moss balls.
inhabitants: 2 green spotted puffers 1"+1.5", guppies 5 adult and 4 fry, 8 ghost shrimp currently.
and here are the pictures.. let me know what you think. :)
