Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Ahh! The power of the forums!
I need to turn to the powers that be, that reside in this forum.
I am in the process of getting a 20 gallon tank.
Not too sure what will go into my tank.
Live plants, rocks formations, and caves are sure bet for now.
I am thinking maybe some new price-worthy Convicts with dark and rich colors or my beautiful Cichlisoma Spilurum pair.
Few questions, just to give you guys something to do when not in TVLand.
1. Undergravel Filter or Hangover Filter, both or just one?
2. Easy care-free plants? Which ones grow pretty, and show colors best?
3. Air Pump - how big should it be? For a 20 or bigger?
4. Considering I want a well-planted tank, what type of lighting should I use? I think there is two types?
5. Anything else I should include?
6. Anything I should get to help with algae?
7. Whats the least size heater, watts or etc..., I should get?
8. Anything else to help me out with would help.
Considering this is my first tank over 10 gallons, suggestions will be very helpful and appreciated.
Thank you all in advance, for i know this is the most helpful forum.
