Hey everyone, taking the plunge with dirt this weekend. I've got a fluval flora. Stripped back a fair bit at the moment. Made a small cannister /hob filter with biohome media in it, a little sponge prefilter. Got a 6500k led beamswork light to stick on there. Also got a nice piece of driftwood residing at the bottom of my pond ready to go. Just curious about plants for a nano tank really, I love vallis, dwarf sag, anubis, water wisteria and Moss, anything simple really, really open to all and any advice, photos to follow if it isn't a massive fail! Ooh forgot to mention, planning on using westland aquatic compost, left over from pond projects, UK native marginals love it! Thanks everyone in advance

Just a word of caution, remember more dirt doent always mean better planted tank. Try out a very small layer of dirt. If you can amend the dirt with other things like dolomite and such for minerals that would be great.
Thanks for the advice, I was thinking of using just half an inch initially and going with plants that are relatively straightforward. I was thinking of using this soil I used in my pond, what do people think?

I have also read that duckweed will be good to have in an initial setup, the water hyacinths from my pond have sent off small runners, could I float this with similar effect. Sorry for all the ridiculous questions, I'll definitely be posting pictures with progress soon and may also show my diy filter, please don't be too harsh :-)
I think that soil is great. I wish we had that in the states so we could recommend it to people who dont know where to begin.
so far I like the tank. Do you have anything attached to that drift wood?
