New 10g Help with plant ideas

Bristlenose Chuck said:

Hi, after a long break from this site Im back and ready to start up a planted tank. I did a few searches but couldnt come up with anything good on plant species to use in a 10g

I will be using tahitian moon sand and 1.5w/g lighting. Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chuck

Welcome back. Well, that is a low light set-up so stick with low light plants...Java Fern,Crypts, Anubias, which all should be fine for your 10 gallon planted. If you can I would also reccomend putting a layer of laterite below your sand for feeding the roots. Get an all pupose plant fertilizer and dose lightly once a week.

For a nice list of low light plants go to plantgeek.net , good luck.
