fish keeping & aquatic plant care

I’m planning to turn my 10 gallon tank into a masterpiece and so planned things out a bit and this is my first post for my  “Aquascaping 10G Tank Journal“.

Here are some of the list that I’ve prepared and need to prepare:

1) Aquascape Sketch

I made two sketches to serve as my reference when I start aquascaping my tank.

2) Tank, Lighting, Substrate & other stuff

• 10 Gallon Aquarium (37.85 liters) [Have it Already and Cycled]
• Flourite Substrate [Still need to buy some]
• DIY CO2 System [Done, needs some ingredients]
• CO2 Reactor 100 (reactor pic) [Gotta buy it from aquariumplants.com]
• Rocks [gotta find good looking ones in our backyard]
• Bogwood [gotta find good ones in the backyard, cure/sterelize it and waterlogged it]
• Big Als’ Plant Food Supplement
• Heater [Have it Already]
• Filtration - Still undecided if I will use or leave it no filter at all
• Air Pump [Have it Already]

3) Plants (of course)

• Tiger Lotus, Red (Nymphaea zenkeri
• Aponogeton crispus
• CLOVER, FOUR LEAF (Marsilea quadrifolia
• Pelia (Monosolenium Tenerum) or Riccia
• Dwarf Hairgrass
• Java Moss
• Java Fern
• Bolbitus (Bolbitus heudelotii)
• Coffeefolia Anubias
• Cabomba green (and purple)
• Ludwidgia Repens (maybe) or Bacopa

4) Test Kits

• Master Test Kits (pH, Hardness, Ammonia, Nitrite) [Have it Already]
• Iron Test Kit [Have it Already]

With all those list I could probably start aquascaping in 1 - 2 wks time and probably post new entries whenever I get some of the materials that I need.

It’s Saturday and as usual… time for tank maintenance.. adios for now =D
