Default new planted tank

So i have 2 tanks sitting around doing nothing. A 10 and a 30. ive been toying with the idea of a highly planted tank with no filter i have lighting picked out but not bought yet as im not sure the tank im going to use. Both are high watts for the tank. im thinking Dwarf haif gass as a lawn as well as some amazon swords and some other random odds n ends. what im thinking is almost wall to wall plants.. Not sure what fish if any will be in the tank.. i was actually thinking of a Boat load of shrimp and a few mystery snails. maybe a surface dweller.. im also planning on doing the back wall of the tank in Lucky bamboo... the top of the tank will be open so they will stick out the top. im going to inject co2 as well as ferts was thinking instead of liquid id go with tabs that go around the roots. I may have a small pump working a water fall but other then that i wasnt planning on any real water movement. But i know that could be bad as well lol any ideas?

Default Re: new planted tank

CO2 and Amazon Swords just mean you'll have a plant that is more than likely too big for your tank in a short time. I would change that plant....the leaves on the ones I just pulled out of my 125g were right at 24" and the one in my 29g is soon to come out. Just something to think about. They get huge.
