Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi all, I am new to this forum and I recently started a 20g semi-planted tank.
I used to have reef tanks years ago, but I sold off everything when I went to college. Now I'm pretty well established living wise and am back in the game, this time going freshwater.
Current plans/progress of my 20g high tank:
Today I set it up with flourite substrate covered by thin layer of gravel. Low lighting tank, one 15w flourescent.
Anchored a couple java ferns to a piece of driftwood, rooted some anacharis in the back. Eventually want some aponogetons and that's about it.
Doing a fishless cycle, threw in some frozen bloodworms and some betta flakes to get it started.
If I've done any of this wrong, advice is much appreciated. I want to eventually have a bristlenose pleco, a school of tetras (maybe 10-12?), and maybe 1-3 small or medium "centerpiece" fish.
