1. If I have high light in a planted tank and no co2 will I have algae
2. If I have a co2 tank how many bps do i need or ppm? How long would a 10lb co2 tank last?
3. What kind of a bio load would a calgers map turtle carry in this size of a tank ... I think I spelled that right.
4. Since my tank is 120 gallons do I still need to do 50% water changes every week?
5. I was thinking about getting a fluval fx4 should I use chemi pure elite? Or is there better media?
6. Is a protein skimmer for saltwater or is it for freshwater too?
7. Can I use an air stone underneath a dirt and sand substrate with a carpet or would that not work?
8. I want a high light but I don't want white light I want a yellow kinda mimicking the sun , natural possibly UV is that an option, any recommendations?
9. I heard you can get water changers which really help but how do you get the right temp putting water back in? And wouldn't your tap water throw everything completely off?
10. Any other tips or warnings for a beginner is appreciated. Maybe things new people to the hobby do wrong or misconceptions. Im really trying to learn absolutely everything I can so I don't mess this up. 120 gallons is a lot of work to replace and costly too.
Thanks!
