No problem and thank you WILDMAN117.

plants dont need a cycled tank. they can also help to speed it up.

100w heater is just fine in a tank that size.
And once you start filling the tank with plants try and get as many as you can all at once, that way you have least of a chance of getting any algae.

Thanks mgamer2000 and bk828 i will try and save up but i just want some sort of hairgrass in the whole tank and maybe a nice plant that goes crazy in the background.

QUESTIONS ?
1. What plant can i put in the background that grows wild and cool looking ?

 

[Mgamer20o0]

i would look at some crypts. low light different colors and in a 10 gal it will look big.

Cool start to your tank! As another 10 gallon tank owner it will be interesting to see how yours turns out!
