I have a 48" T5h0 with zoo med flora sun and ultra sun bulbs. One of each. On a 95ish gallon wave front. I was just looking for some input. New to plants.What help are you looking for? I will say that the java fern (far right side, next to the moss ball) shouldn't be buried like that--the 'viney' portion needs to be above the substrate, and it would be fine securing itself to rock or wood. There are also a few plants that don't look aquatic to me.
What's your lighting?
Thanks for the input. I will check the site out. That moss ball is 3+ years old and come out of a betta bowl and has been ripped in two and split between tanks but is still looking nice green and fluffyFor generic input... my suggestions would be to spread out the plants a bit, I know you cannot split out rosette plants much (swords for example) but stem plants (I think I see a species of hygrophilia and cabomba as a couple of examples) will need to get down to their base, or they will start to rot there in the absence of light.
Try to learn to identify the plants you have, and from there cater to their needs. Personally I'd equate your lighting to maybe medium light, but it's really strange with such an unusually shaped tank.
http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/plantfinder/index.php should help a little with identification
But as noted above the java fern needs to have its rhizome out of the sand in order to grow... it could be attached to wood or rock if wanted too... I think I saw bolbitis heudelotii in there, it's another fern that needs its rhizome kept out of the substrate in order to grow, and can be attached to other stuff.
I suggest rolling and reshaping your marimo ball too, to get it looking a bit rounder.
If it's light, and you can see the effect... it will be helping the plantsI also have a marineland double led strip light that came with a 60 gallon heartland ensemble, that i am running on it too but i dont know if that helps the plants or not but it makes everything shine
In nature, the balls are moved back and forth by the tides which helps them maintain their round shape,Thanks for the input. I will check the site out.
