Carib -Sea Eco Complete, I like it because it holds the plants down well too

20 gallon long currently. Current USA light strip, sea chem filter. This tank is being torn down in a few weeks as I upgraded to a 40 breeder which I am setting up. Other then the java fern on the right, the other plants are fairly new only planted recently.

Feeder goldfish are not planted tank safe. Uprooted and ate all of the dwarf hair grass and just caught him munching on a ghost shrimp.

Yehp!

 

Goldfish are kinda scary. My best friend had childhood takes of keeping a few in a 55gallon tank, and how they ate each other and any plants in the tank until there was only one left...

I had bought a 40B for a marine tank set up, then that tank had issues so returned to the store and they didn't have a 40B in stock, but had a 50 gallon which is the same footprint as the 40B so would fit the stand I had. Got it home and decided I didn't like the 20L I had for freshwater, so ended up turning the 50 gallon into a freshwater. (20L will be marine).

 

The tall plant in the left rear has tripled in size in a week.

yeah I was just surfing that website looks interesting. maybe I might try a nano planted tank?   not that I need anymore fish tanks :/

There's also a site called the Barr Report.

 

Whatever you do - don't "purchase" the digital Planted Tank Guide. First off you may never get it, second if you try to contact them about not getting it you won't receive a reply, third, most of the information is out there for free. Some of  us were just hoping to find it compiled in one spot so we didn't have to spend so much time looking.
