I just set up a 20long and I currently have java ferns, anubis, and hairgrass. I'm using a 10k 31 watt t5ho and a actinic blue 31 watt t5ho for a total of 62 watts. They are planted in eco complete. If the light is on about 6 hours a day, is this too much light? I use api leaf zone water...

My name Jaime and I'm new to this hobby. I've always had a fascination with small ecosystems and self sustaining environments though which is the reason I'm now getting into this! After doing lots of research I decided to buy a 10gal since I don't have a whole lot of room right now, something...

Hello everybody, I've been doing lots of research the past few days from google to today reading all the stickies for newbies to the hobby. Earlier this week I bought a small 5.5 gal aquarium, 10 gal power filter, and the conditioner and liquid test kit and everything else, except heater since...
