I am Michael Pilcher, just starting out In fish keeping. I have a 20L or just over 4 gallon I believe tank still in the cycling process with 2 make guppies as I didn't know about the nitrogen cycle at first but luckily guppies are hardy and don't mind the natural ph of my tap water being quite hard plus being low bio load helps, dodged some bullets there!!
My tank containes a average power head pump and coarse filter with an air pump powered bio filter aswell, also ordered another foam bio filter off ebay, 2x fake plants a fake semi log which I intend to replace with real ones eventually and a real plant (alternanthera) and a crushed coral substrate.
I have plans in the future to get a bigger tank and cycle it properly before adding fish, this is the main reason for the extra bio filters which I plan to mature in my current tank and then put one in the new tank to help the cycling process. I am keen to learn so please teach me or criticize anything I am doing wrong!!
