Aquarium Advice FINatic
OK, so i've been going back an fourth on whether I should use real plants or fake. My set up. 55gal 48L x 20H x 12W, penguin bio-wheel 350, Marineland LED lighted hood, gravel, 4 tetras, 2 pictus cats, and 2 cory cats (spotted and albino). As far as decorations go, when its all set up and my items are in it will be, natural slate rock formation that i created, Malaysian driftwood (boiled and currently soaking in bucket) and when it comes in one of the Airo Volcanos with the LED and bubbles.
Now, I've read that when you have bubblers that you need to introduce more CO2 into the tank cause you're adding more O2, what is needed to do that?
What are some good plants, i've seen some that actual begin to look like a green blanket or mossy type when they grow...??? Can you use plants in the general gravel that you get from the LPS or do you need certain types?
Is it too much for a novice to handle?
