For more info refer to later pages of the original thread here.
I have a 27g marineland cube aquarium. I got it with a fluval c3 and black gravel, and it's light is marineland double bright led 18-24". I'm nearing the end of my fishless cycle using pure ammonia.
I'm considering changing the substrate to seachem flourite black sand, I'd need probably 3 bags. I'd like to have a mid-planted tank, I don't know what type of light the leds give me. I'm going to have driftwood and cholla wood, that I'll probably attach some mosses to. I want to have a carpeting plant, reason one for the new substrate. Reason two is that I want to get corys, which need smoother substrate than what I have.
If I get all my fish at the same time from the same store (petsmart) since they have central filtration would I need to quarantine since the fish are all on the same system?
I have a fluval c3 at the moment, it doesn't have any chemical media in it. I was considering putting purigen and some other bio media in there. Or,I could get a sunsun 303b.. it's only about $75-$80 for 370 rated gph (I've read you only really get around 200 or so gph). In there I'd put the bio media from the fluval to seed it, right? And run both filters for a while? If I do have to get a quarantine I could use the c3 for that filter, if I put it on low.
Lots of input needed, I appreciate you reading through this!
