Aquarium Advice Freak
I have been successful with my saltwater tank that I started a year ago, and I credit AA for most of it. So now as I embark on a present for my new grand daughter who loves my SW tank (but her parents don't want the work of a sw tank). I am wanting a check before I move any further with a planted 20 gallon. Please correct me on anything that sounds SW and does not apply to FW or any other comments. I have read all of the getting started forums and I have gathered great information from this site again. Here is my plan, what do you think?
20 gallons
40 # eco complete black stuff about 5" deep in the back of the tank and 3" deep in the front.
I have already painted the back of the tank a navy blue
about 5# of bright florescent gravel on top of the eco complete
about 6 or 8 Glo fish which after much research I have learned are a genetic mutant of zebra danio, my grand daughter (7 months) loved the active bright colors.
one bubble bar 8" long I am going to lay at the back of the tank.
1 bright bubbling clam (plastic like the old treasure chests)for the center piece.
Various aqua plants with guidance from the aqua plant site posted on AA, and fertilizer tabs.
A few fist sized black rocks
A black light
Compact florescent lighting not sure of the watts
lighting timer
air pump
bio wheel with carbon filter
Some of the equipment I got free, used, but if it is not what you think will work let me know.
Specific questions;
What is the best food for these glowing guys?
What is the freshwater equal to a clean up crew that is appropriate for a 20 gal tank?
What inverts will work?
I would appreciate any comments.
AA is the greatest!!!!!! Thanks again!!!!!!!
