75g planted tank journal

great tank, I love the big wood piece!! I bet if you go for minimalist and use small/ low growing plants it'll looks amazing.

Thank you! Yes, I plan on using mainly anubias nana to fill of the rest of the tank. I would like another short plant like the nana but a different color though, any suggestions on that?

I think it'll look better with the rocks on the left scattered near the base of the manzanita branches.

Another update. Eheim 2217 is up and running. Jager 150w heater set at 77f, it was at 74f. Figure it be more beneficial to gradually raise the temp. I added more rocks, anubias nana, a bunch of crypts (not exactly sure what kind), and a xlarge Amazon sword. I removed all the val out. Still leaning towards wisteria as a background? Or any suggestions on what you would put there?

I still got more work to go on filling in the front as well. Well add more java moss carpet and narrow leaf sword if I can find more.

I'm going fish shopping today!

looks great love the swords... mistahoo was spot on with the rocks on the base... btw mistahoo is doing a group by from H4N in a two weeks you may wanna look at the plants he has available... Myriophyllum Mattogrossense is an easy grower and gets pretty tall, i'd do a mixed background if you can

What does H4N stand for? I'll shoot him a pm. It took me a while to figure out the rock placement. It came down to this being the best, and was already getting tired of it lol. Thanks again!

lol his name is Han but he goes by H4N on the TPT forum... mistahoo has a post in the group buy section if you want to check it out... i have bought stuff from H4N before he has good plants

Add a red plant somewhere slightly next to the sword in the background for contrast and focal point

[Chester]

something like this would be cool... Ludwigia "Red" Hybrid and supposedly really easy to grow as well and not super demanding

[suicune]

like Chester said or some native Hygrophilla sunset. They grow into pink and red hue, fast grower and not too demanding.

[Chester]

I do have some Hygrophilla Sunset but I'm still growing them out... got them from some one in San Antonio because they are illegal to transport across state lines

[suicune]

yeah =d they are native to texas. and ppl consider them a weed so it's illegal out of texas

[Chester]

I really like Nymphaea lotus 'Red too but I do not have any room for it... yet when I set up my 20L maybe

[wesleh]

I really dig the Hygrophilla sunset! Right in between the swords maybe. Anywhere I can get it locally today?
