Okay, I've set up my planted tank and it's just clearing up. I want to know if anyone can think of any more equipment I need or if anything won't work as well as I hope. Here are the tank details:
20 g long
Eclispe 3 hood (biowheel, carbon filter)
65w Smartlight PC retrofit
30lbs (about 2 inchs) of Flourite (is this spelled right?)
A CO2 system that uses sugar and yeast
100w heater
A really cool piece of driftwood
airstone
No fish or plants, yet
Does this sound like it will work well for a planted tank? Also, I added 3 gallons of old aquarium water, 16ish gallons of RO/DI, and 1 1/2 cups of old gravel (the old stuff came from my current FW tank).
Where should I put the discard for the CO2 unit so it is most effective? Somewhere with low current?
Another question - I rinsed off the gravel, but the tank is super cloudy - will it clear up on its own? Or should I change some water?
Much thanks!!
