Unfortunately aquariums are one of the only things that are generally more expensive on Amazon. Here are a few options that will be suitable for a betta with a few modifications:

The Tank

For the gravel I het a $5 discount card since I bought some cat toys, so I got that for $7 from Petco. I would recommend the fluval shrimp stratum though

https://www.amazon.com/Fluval-Plant-Shrimp-Stratum-4-4-Pound/dp/B00JGQIY48/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1536884958&sr=8-1&keywords=fluval+shrimp+stratum

Then I got this set of marimo balls

Got some pre-filter inlet covers

API Freshwater test kit for $20 from amazon

API GH KH test kit for $8 from amazon

a basic TDS electric meter for $10 from ebay

I got salty shrimp 100 grams for about $20 off ebay

Then I bought a piece of driftwood from the Pet store for $10

I got three java moss balls from the pet store for $6 each

Bought an Anubias plant from the pet store for I believe it was $12

I got 3 amano shrimp and 5 CRS from the pet store, prices vary so check your own pet store.

Thanks for the write up! Here's the kit I got: https://www.amazon.com/Aqueon-Fish-Aquarium-Starter-gallon/dp/B01LCZMHPM

Would you recommend switching to a higher intensity light for plant growth? Also what ferts do you recommend? Do LFS sell them?

u/anna1138 · 1 pointr/bettafish

I didnt use any original gravel. . . And the filter is too strong. I got this https://www.amazon.com/Aqueon-Fish-Aquarium-Starter-Gallon/dp/B01LCZMHPM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=19TWF5W2CJOT5&keywords=aqueon+10+gallon+kit&qid=1555868307&s=pet-supplies&sprefix=AQUEON+1%2Cpets%2C200&sr=1-1
From the fish store because it was cheaper than buying the new filter (the kit was 40 dollars). The aquarium guy told me the current would be fine for a betta, but it's way too strong, even when I baffled it. And for some reason my betta likes swimming in the current. His 5 gal is still on my desk, half full, but I threw the filter away. Should I fill the 5 gal, add the sponge filter, and put him in? I mean after I test the water. Then should I take some water from the 5 gal and add it to the 10 to start cycling it? Also one thing I didn't mention, I have two marmino moss balls that I had with him in his 5 gal that I transferred over. Should I just leave them in the 10?
And thank you so much for your help, its obvious I dont know much

So after a ton of research (mostly watching hours upon hours of YouTube videos), I finally decided to dip my jump into a planted tank.

​

Background on the Set-Up

I bought a basic Aqueon 10 Gallon LED Starter Tank , cleaned it and laid a base of CaribSea Eco-Complete substrate.

Put in two pieces of driftwood that I picked up at Petco (had been previously soaking in water for a couple days to add the weight and clear most of the Tannins before setting up the tank).

Then planted the three plant species I decided to give a try at:

  • Amazon Sword (2x in the background)
  • Vallisneria (2 shoots - seen flanking the right-hand sword in the pictures)
  • Crypt Parva (3 pots, broken up some and distributed in the foreground)

    ​

    I chose the above three as they've all been labeled hardy, beginner-friendly, low-light, and low-tech (no-CO2).

    ​

    After setting it up this morning, the picture is one, I took this evening of the tank.

    ​

    The Questions

    So my question centers around how low-light is low-light? There are no stats regarding wattage with the included hood/LED light but if you click the amazon link above to the kit, it has a nice photograph of the underside of the hood and shows the LED lights. That coupled with the size of the tank (e.g. not a lot of depth on a 10 gallon) and the plant selection, I was hoping you all might have some advice.

    ​

    Is the included light in this kit sufficient for the plants above and the tank? If so, how long should it run per day? 8, 9, 10 hours?

    ​

    If the basic light, hood included with the tank is not sufficient, is there an alternative for a 10 gallon tank you might recommend for my tank and plant load?

    ​

    Also any other tips or advice that I may not already have come across through many of the popular YouTube channels would be welcome too for a first time planted tank keeper.

    ​

    Additional Information

    Additional information, I'm looking for the plants to stay healthy but I don't necessarily need them to thrive like crazy either where I have Val take over the tank.

    ​

    Eventually, I want to populate the tank with a small school of Neon Tetras and perhaps some Red Cherry Shrimp.

> One thing i would suggest, however, is if you're looking to house a betta ditch any filter you get with a kit.

What? Nooooo

I literally just got this kit because of the heater/thermometer/filter combo >_<

I’m still working on getting plants and other aqua scape stuff, and I’m going out of town for 2-3 weeks so it’s gonna be a while before I can cycle it. I’m very nervous about it and I’m afraid I’m gonna kill my fishy :(
