Oh cool I checked out the python and it seems awesome! Thanks guys!

So I have a question to everyone about how to do put water back into the aquarium without disturbing all of the substrate and plants I have, and dumping water all over the place. The water usually cascades down with too much force. So what do I do to put water back in efficiently and easily...

No bleach or any sort of disinfectant?? That hardly seems like cleaning a filter pad..

What do you mean by upstream? Andd how do you wash the pads in order to reuse them?

How do I get the carbon out the best way I can?

Hey does anyone know a great, cheap way to create cheap filter pads instead of spending an arm and a leg buying the ones made specifically for your filter? I have a Marineland Emperor filter with a Bio-Wheel and the filter pads are just way too expensive

Well that sounds perfect! Thanks so much everyone!

So I can just fill my marineland emperor filter's media basket with this poly-fill and it works like a micron filter?

If I leave it alone it'll go clear by itself?

I've been looking around and seeing all of these stunning planted tanks with crystal clear water. I got my first ever fish tank a few months ago and I made it a planted tank my tank is completely cycled, all my water parameters are at zero, I have activated carbon, a bio-wheel on an emperor...

Ooh sounds good! But what's a plastic crafters mat?

They are two 14 watt lights and I can pretty much work around the light wattage for the plants. Can I get some ground covering plants though?

If I have two T5NO bulbs on top of my tank with a depth of 18 inches is that sufficient lighting? One is a blue light and one is a white light

Hey can someone help me out by explaining something about having a T5NO light fixture in my planted tank? Just some information I should know. Or an explanation of differences in lights. Anything would be great! Thanks

You are the CO2 guru. Much obliged sir i've already started with the setup
