This is my first NPT, and it's been a short, sharp learning curve about how and what to plant. It houses Cole, a midnight blue plakat and many species of plants including milfoil, blyxa, hairgrass, rotala, dwarf baby's tears, banana lily, wisteria, amazon sword, anubias, needle leaf java fern, hygrophilia corymbosa, several varieties of cryptocorynes, bladderwort, a very pretty green lily and a ton of frogbit, hornwort and azolla.
Substrate is aged potting mix capped with river sand. I'm running a sponge filter, and lights are these blue/white globes which came with the tank (I'll be changing them asap). The plants seem to like it, though.
The tank is an awful design, fundamentally flawed in several ways. But it's what I had to work with, and I think it'll turn out quite okay in the end. |
