I went to my local club auction and the store that was hosting it and got my plants! I also received my ACO order with the sponge filters and fertilizers, so the initial setup is up and going!
My Phone doesn't work well with my light so the colors are off a bit. I have dwarf sagittaria, java fern windelov, needle leaf java fern, a crypt, java moss, anubias nana petite, and two anubias whose names have slipped my mind. Some of the anubias leaves have some holes, but I don't think I was putting in enough easy green, however, I am dealing with some brown hair algae which I think is due to me being too worried about the plants and putting in too much easy green. Oh the joys of beginner mistakes! The hair algae is on the plants as well as the sand. The dwarf sagittaria has quite a few brown leaves, but I think (and hope) it is still adjusting.
The Japanese Maple wood seems to be doing fine except for a white fuzz covering it, which I have read is normal and will eventually go away.
Just being patient and waiting to see how the plants do as time goes on. The tank has been setup for a week now. The fish store was having a sale, so I went ahead and picked up a school of cherry barbs which have been in my quarantine tank. The water parameters in the big tank have been looking good, so I'll probably add them soon. Just not sure if I should add them while the wood is still covered in fuzz. Thinking about getting some hillstream loaches or otocinclus to help scrub the algae and possibly some amano or cherry shrimp eventually.
