Are most You doing planted Tanks?


I was wondering if most everyone here on TRT do planted tanks, I think they look great. I have 2- 100 gallon stainless steel trim tank and 1- 55 gallon SS tank not being used for anything that will look good as a planted tank or tanks.

I just like to use one of the tanks for a planted tank, I am a little bit scared of the planted thing. Just never done it and wonder how hard it will be, Reefs are pretty simple now for the most part. But I think once I get some of the stuff I am working on, mainly my Nano I will.

Planted tanks are the simplest tanks I own. Granted there is a learning curve, but I spend more time maintaning my FW Oscar tank than my planted tanks.

I will be happy to help, if you need it. Read Diana Walsted's book, it is a great place to start.

Loving my planted... my next move in the aquatic hobby is to upgrade to a 150 or 178 FW planted (more to do with my loaches than the plants).

btw, very nice planted whiskey... thats going to look fantastic when it grows out! (not that it doesnt already look fantastic )
