Starting of my First Planted Aquarium
After a long time of study of the planted aquarium I finally started the project. My first target is to learn how to grow plants in the aquarium and then do something different. I know that this setup have lot of mistakes and so I am posting the details and photos here to get your suggestions so that I can modify as per requirement. I don't have enough penny to buy a Canister filter nor Pressurized CO2, the two most required items in this project. Now guys I am giving the brief description of the setup:
tank - 18/15/24" (L/B/H) I know it is an odd size.
Soil - ADA Africana
Lights - Fluval T5HO 2 Nos
CO2 - DIY (Sugar+Yeast)
Diffuser - Air Stone
Filtration - Want your suggestion of IPF, 1 UG filter is there will remove as soon as i get the IPF Suggestion.
Flora - Amazonia, DHG, Christmas Moss of Drift Wood.
Fauna - Not Yet
Photo Period 8 Hrs (4+4)
Now Guys waiting for your valuable suggestions

Re: Starting of my First Planted Aquarium
front plants are good for this sized tank but background plants are not suitable. Please use small leaf plants.
