Novice, 50*40*40 aquarium aquatic plant landscaping problems online, etc.

You didn't mention the two most important things (lights and filters) in the haystack, which made it difficult for everyone to give you advice.

I can only give you a simple classification.

If you use bottom filtration, you can't use ordinary grass mud. It's better to use bottom sand. Because bottom filtration will accelerate the pulverization of mud.

If other filters are used, bottom sand or grass mud can be used.

If you use grass mud, my personal habit is not to add base fertilizer, because high-quality grass mud is fat enough. If bottom sand is used, a proper amount of bottom fertilizer can be added. Generally, the bottom of the tank is paved with about 2 cm of sand, and then the bottom fertilizer is paved. The thickness of the bottom bed can reach about 5 cm, basically all kinds of grass are enough, but the base fertilizer must be added with famous brand products. Personally, I have been using sand from Singapore, and I don't spend much.

This jar is close to a square jar, and it will be beautiful if it is properly landscaped.

Backyard grass: common grass, seaweed, crown grass, clover, nine crown grass, banyan tree and pagoda. ...

Medium Scented Grass: Ficus, Saxifraga, Pulsatilla, Millet Essence and Newton Grass. ...

Foreground grass: cow felt, dwarf pearl, mini dwarf pearl, twig, mini staghorn, South American fork flower. ...

Almighty: Various Mu Si.

Considering that you are a novice, it is recommended to raise some solid grass, which is generally negative, but the light intensity can be strong or weak, with or without CO2.

Background: Some aquatic plants can be planted on both sides, and some small Indian pagodas can be used in the middle.

Mid shot: Tie it to your rhododendron root and turquoise with a fine leaf iron crown and a big triangle Mu Si. Because it is also the main scene of this jar, it needs to be tied tightly to look good.

Prospect: Mini dwarf pearls or cow hair are generally used, but it is a bit difficult to grow and breed. If you are not confident, you can buy a wire mesh with crystal Mu Si or mini antler moss, or tie yourself to a small piece of volcanic rock or sheet-like sinking wood, and lay a few pieces on the front part.

The advantages of this set are low cultivation difficulty, moderate growth speed of aquatic plants (aquatic plants and small towers are fast and need to be started from time to time), and algae explosion is not allowed. The disadvantage is that there are no hard aquatic plants with broad leaves, all of which are thin leaves, and the overall feeling is relatively soft. Except for the small pagoda, it is dark and lifeless.

The simple purpose you should grasp in landscaping is that the species of aquatic plants must be singular, followed by tall grass and short grass in front. Dark things should be placed at the back and sides of the jar, and light things should be placed in front as far as possible, near the center.

If you don't have much landscaping materials, you can also use simple landscapes, such as winding some thin-leaf iron crowns around the roots of azaleas, putting them in the middle of the jar (about two-thirds), and tying moss on pine and volcanic rocks around the roots of azaleas, which is concise and capable, without pruning, and has a special flavor.

Lighting can't be ignored. There are 80 liters of water in your water tank, but you can't hold it, so it's only about 70 liters at most. The negative aquatic plants need 6500K color temperature /2 100 lumen light (T8 lamp needs power of about 25W, which should be turned on for at least 6 hours every day), while the positive aquatic plants need 3500 lumen light (T8 lamp with power of about 45W should be turned on for at least 8 hours every day). However, if CO2 is not added, the filtration is not very good, and it is best not to have strong light, otherwise the algae will easily explode. In fact, CO2 will not die without grass, but the growth rate is slow. Some positive grasses are ugly in shape and color, and the grass grows slowly, so the corresponding algae will grow fast, which will easily affect the ornamental. Therefore, as long as it is not a special aquarium, it is best to add CO2.
