Follow the steps below if you are creating a tank with new aquatic plants. When choosing a tank, if you are hoping to create Medium Care – High Tech Care, it is more appropriate to choose a tank with a length of 1-2 feet and a height of 1-1.5 feet. (Because both cost and maintenance are easy). If you want to create a large aquatic plant tank (Discus or Monster Fish Tank) using Epiphytic Plants (Anubias, Fern types) you can create large size tanks at low cost. The reason for this is that you can grow the plants on something like a log. So there is no cost to Soil. (But those plants are a bit more expensive compared to other aquatic plants due to their slow growth) But overall, the cost of decorating the tank is less compared to the first two categories.
Now that you have chosen the right tank build for you, follow the steps below to build the tank.
1) Hardscape design.
Here, decorate the background using stones and roots as per your wish. There, stick cotton wool between the stone roots and stick them with the help of Adhesive Gum so that the stone roots do not move well. Even if you spend two or three days for this, it will not bring you any loss. Why Hardscape depends on the beauty and longevity of your tank. Also make the back of the tank higher than the front. If you use roots in hardscape design, use only well seasoned ones.
2) Fill planting area using soil
Before adding the soil, first add a root supplement over the glass to the places where the aquatic plants will be planted. After that add a layer of lava stone (1cm – 2cm size) (0.5 – 1 inch) on top of it. Otherwise, you can use crushed and washed tiles ( Ulu Kata) for this. Lava Stone is more suitable if used due to its light weight and quality compared to pebbles. Then add the soil you are using to make more layers in the trench. The use of Soil Powder is best for Carpeting Plants. Add mud or soil (DIY Aquarium Soil) to your tank instead of Aquarium Soil and avoid discoloring the tank.
3) Planting
Avoid planting plants in clusters in the tank prepared as above (Stem Plants). Plant the plants in the soil with the help of a tweezer used for planting plants. When using a tweezer you can easily plant the plant without crushing it. Take small pieces of carpeting plants and plant them at a distance of just one trench. Here, plant BackGround plants in the back of the tank, Midground plants in the middle of the tank, and Carpeting Plants in the front of the tank. The details of all the plants are mentioned in our website. Accordingly, it is easy for you to choose according to your needs. Use a specially prepared glue to stick the moss. (The use of liquid fertilizers gives quality results in Moss.)
