Hey all, I've decided to make my 20 gallon tank planted. It's a 20 gallon with a 65 watt PC, so 3.25 wpg. Right now I've got a HOB filter with a biowheel, the usual. I've read these "agitate" the water, and I assume that refers to the wheel causing gas exhange and subsequent increased CO2 loss. Will I be able to have success with this setup? I am guessing I will need a different filter, at least. One that doesn't use activated charcoal? If I were to do this, could I still forego the CO2? I am on a bit of a budget.
