Aquarium Advice Addict
Alright, i already have my completed 60. ready to try something new.
My twenty is just sitting here empty so i decided to do something with it. I bought Floramax substrate and got some liquid fertilizer. I have a nice peice of Malaysia driftwood that has bean soaking for a few weeks and is ready for this aquarium.
I want to start purchasing some plants like swords, grasses, other leafy plants, but i am concerned with my lighting. I curently have a full spectrum florecent, and i pretty sure it isnt going to be enouph. This is a 20 gallon standard aquarium. With that said, what wattage and type of bulb should i be looking into? Do i need to change the light fixture? Its not a problem to do so, just dont know what i need.
Also i am open to any and all advice, i have a master test kit, so i can frequently update on stats!
On a side note, i prematurly bought a pleco for this aquarium so he is living in the sixty gallon sitting on the bottom in a breeder. Just wanted to show him off because of how cool i think he would look in a planted aquarium, he is a Dwarf Clown Pleco. His tank mates will someday be 6-7 neon tetra's or cardinal tetra's and a Dwarf sunset guorami. He is only and inch long so im sure he will be fine in the double breeder for a day or two.
