29g Planted

It's okay . . . adding fish early on in a planted tank is okay -- planted tanks are much more forgiving. The fish will produce ammonia and the plants will gobble it up - no worries

I'll keep a close eye on them.
I found a piece of driftwood in my box o' aquarium stuff I'd purchased a couple if years ago. I'm soaking it now and plan to attach some Java Fern to it for my centerpiece. I also found some lava rocks I can attach Anubias to. I may try to find some foreground plants to completely cover the bottom; I haven't decided yet.

I removed the Alternanthera, apparently not enough light. Bacopa filling out nicely. Growth is slow but noticeable.

Third week and things are going well. I'm taking my time with planting; doing a little research looking for the perfect fit. BTW, I've noticed a lot of planted tank discussion. There's tons of information out there but you never know until you try.

So far so good. I expect some algae but not a bloom.

I CAN'T STAND IT! Tank looks empty without fish so . . . I tested the water and everything reads 0. I took a bag of ceramic rings from another canister I had running and put it in the SunSun 2 weeks ago. I did add more Bacopa and some Java Fern from another tank; the fish, 2 Platies, also came from the same tank. I haven't given up on the Planted Tank idea, I guess I'm a true fish geek.

What kind of heater is that?

Top Fin 150watt. Not my first choice but I spent over $250 on everything else, I skimped on the heater.

I have the same heater. I didn't know it was completely submersible.
