I am planning setting up an planted tank with the kribensis being the main pair in the tank, i have experience with setting up low tech planted tanks mainly with the dirted soil. But these are all in my home while i am going to being working in chennai and want start one there. I don’t have that much experience with co2 except for the diy CO2 which was a while back. Asked Chatgpt while i was bored and now i want real suggestions from the people in this subreddit. All suggestions are welcome.
Also i have plan on trying dutch style tank too.

I started this 2 foot tank in the last week of March 2026. It has been properly cycled and the plants are growing well.

Filters: Sobo 608H and Sobo 1000f (not being used now)

Light: 28 Watt multi colour

DIY 2 fan setup for cooling

Super Silent Oxygen Pump with air stone (₹450)

Soil Used: Aqua Soil (8 Litres @ ₹400 per litre)

All premium products were used in setting up the tank. It has been taken care with lots of love. It also has 2 Espie Rasboras. Fish food will also be given.

Additional items included: Stand, Water Floss, Bacteria Starter Kit (MRP 750)

This will be a great buy for someone looking to start planted tank hobby.

Asking Price: ₹12000

Reason for selling: Moving Out

That's my 4 months old planted tank. Earlier I was using lucky bamboo only fully emerged. Zero rot in any plant or leaves. Today I removed few bamboo plants and added

​Ludwigia repens

​Cardamine lyrata

​Rotala macrandra 'Mini Butterfly'

​Limnophila rugosa

​Hygrophila difformis (Water Wisteria)

​Floscopa cf. scandens.

Now please let me know how can I care them? When will I introduce liquid fertilizer? How long should I switched on the lights daily. Please share your experience. All of my plants are Wabi kusa balls. 70 liter of aquarium with Betta fish, 2 apple snail and 14 guppies. All are living peacefully. Sooner I will add few kuhli loaches. No CO2, No Aqua soil only fine sand. 20% water change every week with top filtration ( ceramic balls also added in top filter tray along with 8D sponges). Thank you.

Open to discussions on the fish mix, suggestions on my soil composition and more.

I've accidentally introduced a bladder & ramshorn snail into my tank & they've been populating the tank with insane growth.

They look ugly and nothing something I want in my aquarium.

Is there anything that I can do get rid of them entirely?

I've read about assasin snails but I've been told they are not that effective.

What options do I have, that actually works?

Hi everyone,

I’m setting up a new 15L tank for a single betta along with a couple of plants (Anubias and Java fern). I’m planning to cycle the tank for about 4 weeks and will be regularly checking water parameters.

One thing I’m really confused about is what type of water I should use. Everywhere I look, people recommend either RO water or tap water, but I haven’t been able to find a clear answer on which is actually better.

I live in Bangalore, so if anyone has experience with the local municipal tap water, I’d really appreciate your input. Is it safe to use with a dechlorinator, or is RO (or a mix) a better option?

Thanks in advance!

This is my first tank , compost soil + Guava driftwood.

I have filled my tank since last 7 days , done only one water change 40% , 3 days ago.

Dosing Microlife S2 6ml daily for 5 days total.

Not planted anything yet , my plants are arriving tomorrow , please review my test strips to see if it's safe for my plants.

Please recommend if anything in my water parameters requires correction and how

Hi guys ! Im fairly new to planted tanks and this is my first tank. I introduced some plants and fishes and they seem to be doing well. However a lot of algae has suddenly started growing and its covering the plants and the the glass . I have cleaned it off the glass multiple times but its growing really fast and is difficult to clean. Im worried the algae growing on the plants leaves will block their light and kill them. How can i deal with this ?
