Aquarium Advice Activist
I have what I call my "failed plant tank". It has a good substrate, compact florescent lighting, lot's of plants, all coated with algae. I use a DIY CO2 system that did seem to give the plants a little boost in growth.
I just ordered my first batch of 25 RCS on aquabid and was going to make this their home. It's a 30 gal long so I'm thinking this could support a few hundred once they establish a colony.
Questions:
Should I continue the CO2?
I have a couple of very happy Ottos eating the algae, will they be OK with the RCS?
What would be the best filtration? I have bubble filters, a small HOB available but I know some say filtration is not that important if you do regular PWC's.
Finally, I have very hard water, but I do have RO available, which is best for RCS?
Thanks
Dennis
