Hi everyone! I am new to keeping a Planted Nano. I have a 5gal Fluval Chi currently stocked with 1 Half Moon Betta, 3 Rasbora Hets, and 1 Black Mystery Snail. I also generally keep 3-5 Ghost Shrimp. I went a little over board with the broad leaf plants, and will have to graduate them to a bigger tank. I have 1 Bamboo, 3 Amazon swords, 1 Anubias Nana, 1 Waterlily(Nymphaea Lotus Green), and 1 Aponogeton, and 1 Marimo Moss ball. My goal originally was to have moss cover on the bottom, but the local supply store had only 1 when I went in there. Needless to say I have yet to go back to see if they have more. Substrate is a fine mesh gravel. For hardware I have a Flat heater that I need to replace more for aesthetics then functional purposes. I am currently looking into a better co2 set up due to the Fluval Flora co2 kit I currently have seems to be defective. However it could be user error. It will not completely turn off when the cartridge is first attached and it runs out fairly quickly. I also work at a local pet super store( I am not going to name the company). I started out as a lowly cashier and moved around the store, which included a 2 year stay in the Aquatics dept. I lean more towards having schooling fish with a heavily planted tank. My ultimate tank would be a 125 filled with Rasbora Hets, the more the merrier

. I hope to learn from you all. I look forward to reading! Happy Day~Krys
