Hi Guys,

I decided to try my hands at the dirt substrate in my planted tank. So here's what I did:
31749583184_3afaa66ee3_c.jpg

Substrate: garden soil topped up with JBL Manado.
Plants: Various crypts, few bunches of tenellus, anubias petite, anubias barteri, few ferns (on the wood),
Pinnatifida (yet to show up in the background), Reinckii Mini, Ludwigia Palustris. Most plants harvested from my emersed setups. 🙂 🙂
Tank size: 36" x 15" x 15"
Lights: 72W PLL.
Filter: 1200LPH internal filter.
Co2: not yet. Planning to add it in a weeks' time.
Fertiliser dosage: yes, EI Method.
Fish: 12 pencil fish, one swordtail (desperate rehousing), few guppies.

I am planning to add more stems at the back and have ordered about 100 tenellus.

Hope you all like it.

Cheers,

Karthik
