So now that the 40 gallon is about done, turning my sights back on my ten gallon tank.
Short basic idea is to turn it into a planted tank with driftwood, dark sand or maybe fluorite substrate, either ghost or RCS, and a few small fish (TBD). Will be switching out the HOB to a sponge filter.
The tank has the hood that came with it and would like to keep it, for lighting I'd like to swap out the two incandescent bulbs to CFLs. Still new to plants but I understand this should be OK right?
Thoughts on good plants for a ten gallon tank? Given the size I want to make sure I don't get something that looks good now only to find out it's going to take over the tank at full size. Would prefer to stick with relatively friendly plants. Ferts and such are fine, but would rather stay away from something that I'd need to start playing with C02.
