Aquarium Advice FINatic
About halfway through buying all the stuff for my new 55gal, I decided I was going to do planted. I have already bought (and opened) an Emperor400. This tank will have 130 watts of lighting so my lighting is only 2.36wpg so I know I am not looking at any high light plants. I am not trying to grow a jungle here, just have something decent. I was planning on doing DIY CO2 and then possibly upgrading it later (depending on money and results from DIY). I have been researching planted and it seems that most people use canister filters. Should I bite the bullet and buy a Filstar now? Will I lose way too much CO2 through the Emperor?
Next time I'll decide first then buy..... It's cheaper.
So Canister or HOB? Any advice or comments are appreciated.
