Suggestions On Plants Non Co2

[Bertdog]

Hello could I get your suggestions on what plants to use, 1st time at a attempting to plant. it's a fluval edge 12 gal no top to the tank so it's fully open and not using C02 . I have a co2 system but not looking to use it from the start. I'm also considering to do a Dry start . Also your suggestions on what to put on the branches of the bonsai I've read different options like moss or plants. there's plenty of clearance on the back wall and the sides from the rock.

thank you for any input

Take a look at Tropica's Easy Plant List
And maybe take a look at this https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/the-soil-substrate-or-dirted-planted-tank-a-how-to-guide.18943/

Anubias Nana is a great plant for low light/low Co2 and Buces

Thanks Stan510 very helpful and knowledgeable , this is what I ended buying. Some changes as some companies didn’t have my original choices.
Anubias nana petite potted
Dwarf sagittaria subulata
Italian vallisneria spiralis
Ludwigia dark red
Monte Carlo 4 oz cup
Scarlet temple alternanthera reineckii
Water sprite lace leaf fern plants

they only had moss balls so I skipped out in moss for now , I guess I can drain it and added when I get some.

seemed like a lot of places are out of many plants , I’m guessing the epidemic has affected them as well.

also pick up seachem Flourish supplements
Excell plant
Iron plant
Plant supplement fertilizer

thanks for taking the time for your input.

I have well water that’s high in minerals hard water (New place 1st time ever on well)I read somewhere that I should do 50 / 50 well water/rodi I run a RO/DI output now is 0 any input on this ?

Wow Yosemite that's impressive , for sure using the nana is going on the bonsai tree just not sure if i'll glue it or string it. I do have co2 system from my salt water tanks but trying not to start with them, funny I hate refilling them nor do I know a place by me now to fill them. I was suppose to receive my plants today but they didn't processed it , now it'll be tomorrow or friday hope this place delivers good plants they're in NY so whos knows . Initially was going to order from Buce plants Out of CALI but they sold out on a couple plants. Oh well thank you for your input i do appreciate . Now that I'm not doing Dry Start I'm eager to start. Take care and be safe.
