I have recently been inspired to make one of these. I have always loved CP's and would love to have a mass of them planted together, rather than being scattered all over the place!
So where do I start? All the Youtube vids and links I've researched say different things. I know Sphagnum moss is used for a top layer before planting the CP's, but the rest was pretty vague.
Also, in one video a guy put a tube leading down into the bottom of the tank, I presume for watering and drainage? Here's the link for this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmEb9ozbaMs is this a good idea? Or are there better ways?
I've also read that CP's require plain, mineral free substrate to be potted into. Would Eco earth (T substrate) be alright for this? If not what should I use? I don't want to look like I'm being lazy and getting you guys to do my homework for me, but I would rather have advice from someone who has had success and knows what they're doing.
Thanks in advance for any answers! :love:
