Aquarium Advice Addict
So a little background: I got a great Christmas present from my mom, a 16 gallon LED Widescreen from Aqueon, and I am currently in the process of beginning to cycle it. The filter that came with the kit is a cruddy Power Flow 10, so I am going to get an Aquaclear 30 instead. I thought it would make sense to let it run on a seeded tank for awhile, and then fill the new tank with water, and then put the filter on the new tank. Would that make the cycle shorter because I have seeded material in the filter with beneficial bacteria already? Also, the new substrate will be sand, the lights are LEDs, they are really bright, and I will be doing moderately planted with no fakes. There will be several pieces of driftwood in there, thought it would look really cool and natural. Might do a tree like piece of wood that has moss hanging off the sides, I don't know yet. I'm not dosing CO2 in any way, it's too confusing and I don't have the space. My stocking list is: 3 Julii Cory's, 3 Peppered Cory's (Cory's are going to be the first in there), 7 Marbled Hatchetfish (Going to be one of the last), 6 Harlequin Rasbora's (Going in after the Cory's), and last but not least, 5 Amano Shrimp (These are going last) Please let me know anything that you would change or anything wrong with the stocking list.
Thank you!
