Hi everyone,
I'm new here to APC.
I just started to get into planted tanks recently, about a couple days ago actually. As of now, I have a 10 gal planted tank with low light tanks. I have around 1.5 wpg and sand substrate. The lightbulbs are 2 incandescent ones, i think. (they glow yellowish, not like fluorescent). I plan on keeping this a low-tech planted tank. I don't have any other substrates in the tank right now. Just went to the LFS this morning and picked out some plants. I bought:
2x Hornwort
2x Anubias Nana
1x C. wendtii
1x Java Fern
I also picked up a bottle of Flourish, cause the guy told me to use that as fertilizer. I got a few questions on planting the plants. How deep do I need to plant them and I can't seem to find a way to put my java fern on my terracota pots. Also, will I be needing CO2 for this tank? Cause I can make a DIY CO2 injection system. Advice and suggestions needed.
Thanks for your time.
