So the pictures have some info on the plants in question but I will give you the rundown on my tank 13 gal wide , it ' s been cycledin use for over 2 years but recently empty due to my fish outgrowing the tank . I put down FSS with a black Nat Geo Gravel Cap it ' s basically all mixed at this point , the water is all good 0 ppm on everything , around 7 . 5 PH . I am dosing with Flourish and Excell will be setting up a DIY system within the next two weeks or so , no algae yet that I have noticed I do have a bit of a duckweed situation on the bottom of the tank that shit gets everywhere but I built a wall and now it ' s stopped clogging up my life . There are 46 Cherry Shrimp in there I bought 6 but I have yet to see all 6 at one time so lord only knows , I also saw what I assume to be a baby one but it was moving so quick who knows what it was . Other than that it is empty . I ' m not sure if I have a co 2 problem or a nutrients problem so any direction you can give me would be a great helpLight is the Finnex 247 but I don ' t want to overload my plants with light so it ' s usually only on max for 4 hours and then I go a lowlight warmer light setting for 2 hours in the AM and a bluer light low light setting for an hour or two at night and then it ' s off from around 7 pm 5 am
