Hello everyone this is my first planted tank I'm dosing pps pro and using liquid carbon. I will admit I do miss a day here and there. I have changed my set up a lot and learned the hard was what plants to trim and not to trim. I buried my red lotus bulb n killed it :( I also tried to trim my...

I'm planning in planting a 55 gal tank 48" long. I have a fluval 306 and 405. Will that be too much for this tank?

Ok, so, I resently purchased a used fluval 405 for my 55 gal cichlid tank. The tank used to have a brand new 2-3 month old fluval 306 but I have since moved it down to my 45 gal soon to be planted tank (also has a hob filter). The problem is with the 306 on the 45gal it spits out air bubbles and...
