I am working on converting my tall 20 gallon into a planted tank, I really need to upgrade my, hanging over the back crap filter. I want to go with a fluval canister but don't know which would be the best model suggestions? Also need ideas for a new heater.
I just ordered some purigen, hopefully it works like everyone says it does. But as for the tank. You were exactly right I couldn't see a thing in there. So I did a water change and after like 8 hours it's a green tea color. Would it be pointless to do 2 water changes a day?
So I just dirted my tank today, I capped it and filled it up with water, the water was already funky but over time it just keeps getting darker. I understand that it is releasing its tannins, but how many water changes do you think it will take to go back to normal?
I honestly have no idea I went to Walmart in search of a light that was short enough to fit over the tank so I built a hood and mounted the light to it. It's 60 watts and pretty bright.
Thank you for all the information, but I forgot that my parents had a compost in the back yard so I went back there and got soil. I now have that in the tank, I have a sort of thick black gravel do you think that will be good to cap with?
I have decided to go with dirt for my substrate, so before I go buy it, I would like to know what do when I get the soil.. And also how long it will take before adding plants. If anyone could tell me other helpful things to pick up, that would be great too.
