How to Create a Beginner Planted Aquarium (Step by Step Guide)

I found time to create a No CO2 Planted Aquarium Setup for my Daughter, which I am extremely excited to share with you all! This will be her very first fish tank, so I wanted to provide her with something beautiful and low maintenance as an introduction to the wonderful fishkeeping hobby that I have come to love. I think it's essential to make the experience enjoyable and stress-free, especially for beginners, and I hope this tank will spark her interest in aquatic life. The heater I use for this tank is a Hygger digital mini heater - https://www.hygger-online.com/product/hygger-aquarium-digital-mini-heater/?ref=ah-aquatics It is a brilliant little heater, you can't see it and the beauty of it its design is you don't have to put your hand in the tank to adjust the temperature!
