Hi all. I am in the process of setting up a 180ltr cory tank. I want a very lowtech setup, but am at a loss as to which plants to use and which way to use ferts. I was thinking about some amazon swords and straight/spiral vallis for the background, possibly some smaller broadleaved plants for the midground and mosses for the carpet in the foreground. I have 2x30w lights. I am also thinking of using cat litter as a subtrate with fine gravel or coarse sand as a capping.
Can anyone recommend good plants for this setup. There will be quite a bit of sumatran driftwood in with mosses on. I am also wanting to use a fert that i can use daily/weekly that comes in a bottle. I dont have the time to make my own ferts and mess about with various bits of this and that due to work commitments. There will aslo be 1 Indian whisker shrimp in with the fish, so the ferts will have to be shrimp friendly. At the moment i am using Nutrafin Plant gro. Would this be ok to use in a slightly better planted tank?. Thanks for any help. Chris.
