I'm a beginner aquarist and this is one of my first tanks, and certainly my first planted tank. I've had this tank running for a few weeks now and after making many adjustments I've arrived at this layout, however I'm still not sure if I'm satisfied with it. I would like some advice on what everyone else thinks about the layout, plant choices etc.
For the sake of clarity the current plants are green cabomba, rotala rotundifolia, s repens and 'red' ludwigia. The ludwigia was jsut purchased, and was green at the lfs, but will supposedly turn red under better lighting conditions.
I'm running a fluval spec 5 gallon tank, with the stock 7000k, 820 lm light. An online source suggests that the PAR rating is 66 in the centre and 60 at the bottom of the tank. I'm dosing Thrive AIO 3x week and excel daily.
So! There you have it! Bring on the suggestions!
