01-08-2006, 05:16 PM

First attempt into plnted tanks.. Small 1 ft tank in office.. will be a shrimp tank soon..

Using clip on filter, clip on light, no CO2, no Chiller cos office temperature is cold 24/7...

All comments welcome.. i very new to planted so would love to get any feedbacks or suggestions...

Thanks

Is that riccia on the left? Looks like its growing well... But too much to trim it weekly.

If you tie moss, then be prepared to not see the dw.

It is really up to you.

hehe.. nt seeing DW is ok.. just want to have more greens in the tank and like the contrast of the riccia and moss... 2 shades of green...

Wow, your riccia is thriving even without co2... wonderful. But the tedious thing abt riccia is that if not trimmed they will propagate upwards and eventually float on the surface.
