What are your personal goals w/Planted tanks?
- Thread starter plantbrain
- Start date
I'd like to think my goals are similar to anonapersona's, but Superjohnny's post has a certain ring of truth to it. 
(Thats in no particular order).
And I think the give and take of the forums is invaluable, especially with regards to the last two.
- To provide a comfortable natural setting for the fish.
- To wrestle with a consequenceless problem. For some reason this seems relaxing.
- To be competent at a chosen craft, to be able to assemble a graceful system. After I get the plants thriving and the algae at bay, I'd like to square up against the aquascaping (approaching this stage).
- To learn.

To understand chemistry and the nutrient balance in my tank enough to troubleshoot my own catastrophes.
make my tank look natural and nice
even though i got co2 line running, nutrious ferts, pearling plants. not even close to nature.

That's #1. #2 is to create a multi-teired, Amano-like aquascape with a groundcover type plant, a medium-large outcrop of granite and several medium-small filler plants of two species. Thank you Tom, I needed to write that down to consolidate my ideas.
I would like my plants to grow well, and have the tank looks like a nice little garden. keep algea down and have a fun, comfortable beuitifuk place for me and my fish to enjoy.
I just like plants and I always seem to forget to water my house plants so keeping plants in the aquarium solves that problem.
I like my fish but plants has always been my want as far back as when I could only look at my dad's plastic plant ornamented tank. And that was a while that I could only do that as I had to move out on my own to be able to have my own tanks

Don't forget the poison ivy. I want to go back to AZ, where the only hazards were cactus spines and rattlesnakes.
I really hope to create a tank that looks better and more natural than my yard. If I can't make a 12"X24" area look great, what hope have I got in a whole yard?
