CharlieTuna Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Just got done setting this up. I'm thinking monti carlo from the bottom making a path up into the middle or I could go with dwarf hairgrass or moss for the more highlander look. Anyhoo, how would you guys proceed. It's a 10 gal that's not gonna run CO2. Fluvial nano light and fluval stratum on top of small river stone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Christmas moss perhaps. Little bits on the rocks. Rotala Indica in background. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I agree, moss will be easy to grow without co2 and some nice Rotala or Ludwigia will fill in the background. I like the idea of a little Monte Carlo and some tufts of hairgrass for that highland look. Hydrocotyle Tripartita would look good too. I have a Fluval Nano, it’s a powerful little light. You might need to keep the intensity low to control algae. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Monte Carlo would look really good in that aquarium! And I defentley some rotala and moss will look fantastic in that tank! However in my experiance monte carlo won't carpet without co2. However it will still do fine without co2, just no carpeting. I had monte carlo in a tank without co2. The monte carlo was very green and pearled but never carpeted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you could try DIY CO2 with an inverted glass beaker. We found that during lights on, an inverted 50 ml. Turbidity column filled with DIY CO2 dissolved completely in 29 gal. of water. The idea is what they do at Ocean Aquarium in SF. Here’s a video of my son explaining… Edited August 11, 2021 by Fish Folk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
