PSmithAZ · 04-29-2008, 01:59 AM

I have a 10 gallon tank sitting at the house. I would like to start my first planted tank and I think this one will be perftect for starting. Does anyone have any suggestions or anything you may like to see ???

Well, I would suggest a nutrient rich substrate. You could get away with 1 bag of substrate of Eco Complete or Flourite.

You'll want to get atleast 20 watts over the tank to have a good selection. I'd actually suggest 30-40 watts.

DIY CO2 is easy on a small tank, so you could consider that.

You can browse tanks at http://www.aquatic-gardeners.org to get some ideas.

Is there an equipment list that I can reference to get a 10 gal set up? What would be ideal for a 10 gallon.
