Trying for a New Setup - Need Tips.

[bayareafarmer]

How would I go achieving This? I currenty Have a barebottom setup with Ferns and Anubias on driftwoods. I would not mind adding a small ammount of substrate and grow some of those grasses or clovers w/e they are. How much would I need? do i need some sort of soil aswell? and i hope this is not CO2 injected or however that works.

Invite Takashi Amano over and have your check book ready To achieve that YES you will need CO2 as well as a lot of time and patience.

Yes, it is a CO2 enriched tank with between 2-3wpg.

The clover plant is Glossostigma elatinoides and the rest of the plants are Blyxa japonica, Crypt wendtii, moss, and a whole lot of green rotalas.

Most of these tanks have a sloped substrate with between 1-2 inches in the front and 3-4 inches in the back. A plant substrate isn't required but helps, and additional fertilization will be necessary.
