Hi!!thanks for replying to this post i meant that i have a co2 tank and liquid co2 i also have seachem ferts..i have some
concerns if i were to use cuba as a foreground plant as i do not have a chiller but only have two w-8 fans.
Welcome to the hobby, good effort for a newbie...heheh
HC can survive without chiller, felix's hc is grown with fan only. There are other low maintenance foreground plants like e-ten, microswords etc to choose from apart from HC if you are really concern about chiller.
IMHO,it is always better to start from low tech, and start slow. So that you can get the main idea of stuffs like fertilizer regime, trimming of plants, photo period, algae and misc cycling issue.
After that,you can go into med or high tech...hehe don't worry there are a lot of poisonous seniors here to poison you ,ops .. Should be Guide you....
Check out my Blog on planted tank, good for newbies ( i am lazy to retype all the info i know, so please click and read below link... i hope you don't fall asleep while reading)

I am not PERFECT but I am LIMITED EDITION !!!BIG Tank comes with BIG Responsibility...as they makan a lot of $$....lol
Yes you can still do a HC based foreground...Originally Posted by StressSia
I saw the fans on the side.. kotobuki or Dymax... should be a dymax...
but don't just get HC alone.. will be a tad dull to see everything same tone..
Browse fourm for samples in Aquascaping section.
A good video by greenmachine. if your going to be planting HC.

I saw some people plant dwarf hairgrass at the back and hc at the front ..by the way should i start from dsm or flood and blast co2 in the tank ,
Yes there are setups like that, some also mix them slightly.
Take the time to choose the plants and how to plant and trim them.
1st time doing planted correct?
Moist the substrate abit then plant. After planting is done flood and put co2 3bps or higher.

Update:
i added cuba and staurogyne to my tank and flooded the tank!
wow... your planting is very tidy. You put fish right after you flood the tank? Normally you need to cycle for few weeks
Haha...currently in the tank i have placed rummynose tetras ,they are swimming around in their school and their nose have not changed colour I also dose seachem bb and do 10% water change every 3-4 days
oh...sorry forgot to mention that i placed the fish in a few days after floodingwow... your planting is very tidy
How many bps and photoperiod now?
Looking good.
Btw, fauna that like to "peck" on plants for algae.... Ect.
Leave them for later when hc roots in more. If not alot of floating hc
If you need more Straugyone, let me know. Easy to pass to you.

Looking good there. Very uniformed planting
Photoperiod is how long the lights left on e.g. 4pm-12am
Advice from boss Felix
Pearling does not always mean good growth is there. (but HC pearling = see will feel satisfied.)
3 bps is ok, i am on 3-4 bps currently. pearling like raining haha.
Photo period = the duration of light which you are giving the plants to photosynthesis aka Photosynthesis-Period.
btw, take picture without flash. off your room lights. (Spam taking pictures and choose the best)

thanks for the advice! will do in future. in the mean time I shall just monitor the growth rate of the hc. what would you define as 'good growth'
You see creeping or rather crawling.
Abit of melting is fine (i do mean really abit only).
btw, your stones from GC? (the one clementi, further from MRT. shopkeeper uncle with specs.)
