S. Repens was the first plant I ever got and it was the best. I think it looks amazing when it grows in! And I kept it in a small 5 gallon... I HIGHLY recommend it!

Wow. I've been searching for a good video for carpeting plants and this is the best video yet. Easy to follow, not boring and very informative.

I love the S. Repens! I have that in my nano tank, they really took well and grow like crazy. Mine are low and fat, but I'd love it if it were more dense. I love the the look of the fluffy bottom.

Good video. I have E. Tenellus in my tank and, you're right, it's a aggressive carpet plant. It was supposed to be just the left front of the tank, but runners have gone everywhere. It's stayed fairly short, too, maybe an effect of having a Planted+ on just a 20-long, so fairly shallow. Substrate is eco-complete, btw.

Hey thanks for the vid! I have a 50 gallon hi tech planted tank, and have been slowly converting my 10 gallon to plants. Within the last week i have planted dwarf hair grass as a carpeting plant. I am also using the 24/7 finnex planted LED light, so my question is how happy are you with the light in regards to plants? I've never used LED before and was wondering long term your thoughts. Since i have it on a 10 gallon its quite a bit shallower than a 90 gallon. Thanks in advance :) Also do you use the 24/7 settings or do you use it on a separate timer?

if dont have patience, dont do planted tanks. i know a lot of my friends too who are very crazy they thought planted tank will just turn into jungle in 1 month then they spent a lot on ferts and lights and substrate/soil but THEIR HANDS ALWAYS TEMPERING THE SCAPE eventually killing all and destroying their tanks. in the end im the luckiest guy cause i pickup all whats left behind from their tanks and i put it in my pond. hahaha..

@jasonmaslen3266 6 жыл бұрын

G'day mate, What plants do you recommend for creating the illusion of depth in an aquarium? I realise that bigger leaf plants in the foreground working towards the back with smaller leaves to tiny leaf plants would create depth. Also using brighter coloured leaves in the foregrond and working your way towards the back with less brighter coloured plants would also create the illusion of depth. So can you recommend plants to create this illusion of depth?

So, I recently started a small 5 gallon starter aqua scaping tank that eventually will hopefully be a feeder shrimp breeding tank. I have some hairgrass and some dwarf swords coming for it as well as some micro swords and water sprites. Hoping it goes well once the plants get established. Learning the "patience" part from my red eared terrapin hatchling whose constantly teaching me- and he's already learned the art of begging and that sometimes I am a sucker for those little begging eyes and the fact that he will keep staring at me as I am working on my computer. An off the subject question for you is, what species of shrimp in your opinion are colorful and easy to breed?
