ok so ive just started my 29 gallon tank i put the gravels in which i rinsed over and over for about a hour. i put two 25lb bags in which some say is to much and some say is ok i myself think it was just the right level cause im planning on adding some plants.... i bought a peice of driftwood from my lfs and washed it in the dishwasher on heavy wash about 4 times and then soaked it a couple times about a hour at a time cause it all didnt fit in anything but the tub lol. i filled it all up started my aquaclear 70 with sponge, biomax, sponge (should that be in a different order????) and added my seachems prime....let it run for probably 5 hours and did my first test to see what everything come up as......
*PH 7.2 -7.6 (im a little color blind it was hard to tell on some of these)
*Ammonia 0 - .25ppm
*Nitrite 0
*nitrate 0
last night my water had seemed to clear up then today i decided to try and add a couple airstones.....well that didnt work at all and now my water is kinda cloudy again i have no fish yet and no plants .
But my water doesnt seem to be getting clearer this time im thinking its just where i was messing with my rocks but would like some reassurance...
What would be a good stocking list for this tank i know i would like either some angels or gouramis as centerpieces or maybe one of each if possible probably some kind of tetras to begin with a nice little school of maybe six ....but idk what kind yet ...if any ideas or recommendations let me know. I know there is a good couple of questions in this post but im hoping to get some answers...THANKS
