Tara.C. Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 What are your favorite background plants for a low-tech tank? I can do moderate to high light with mg Finnex 24/7 CRV, but I'm not running Co2. Just had to rip out my green myrio because the leaves started dying. (A real head-scratcher because I thought it was almost impossible to kill... meanwhile my water sprite and moneywort are growing like crazy). I'm using liquid ferts and substantial lighting. I'm a newbie, so easy to moderate care only. Probably not amazon swords since they get so large. My tank is only 29 gallons. I don't mind trimming frequently, but I don't want anything that's giant because I prefer to keep a big variety of plants. I like the look of anacharis, but I keep my tank at 79°, and I know they prefer cooler water.im using eco-complete substrate. Root tabs, and liquid ferts as needed.

TheDukeAnumber1 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 A wall of vallisneria is a favorite background of mine. With high lights and ferts you will need to trim frequently and they will try to spread to the front too but its typically considered an easy plant to grow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
