Switching tank substrate question

[1fish2fish]

I'm going to try pine out bc we have a lot of that. We mostly have oak trees too. I'm just going to try what I find and see what works and what doesn't.

Feeding the corys today was a HUGE success. I only had to use one wafer and they got to eat the whole darn thing. I tested today and I'm at 0,0,10, which is my normal reading so we're good for today.

You'll have to let me know how the pine goes. We have kinda the same thing here. Lots of oak and pine.

Oh, and despite saying I'm done, I ordered some dwarf subulata for ground cover last night. Lol.

LOL.. I've decided that my tank will never be 'done'. As soon as I get it planted I will be thinking what I can do next to make it better.

[vaygirl]

Okay! That's it. I'm done. I think... lol



Kilo and Whiskey got some of the plants too! They send them in tens.

Wow Janine it looks great!

What is the "Grassy" looking plant you have in the front called? I may want to get some of that.

[vaygirl]

It's a dwarf sagittaria. I thought it was smaller then that but I think it looks okay. Tango likes swimming through them already. It really likes medium light but it will tolerate low light. It just won't grow as fast. It sends out runners so I'm hoping it will cover the front more eventually.

Oh wooooow! I LOVE your tanks. :D

[vaygirl]

Thanks guys. Whiskey's tank looks like he's swimming in tea! That mopani is sending out crazy tannins.

Your tanks and plants are beautiful!

I might have to look into getting some of those if I ever upgrade my lighting.
