Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello Aquarium advice people, I've always read threads on this site but I finally decided to make an account.
This week my cousin told me he had a 20g long tank laying out in his backyard, being obsessed with this hobby I asked if I could have it. Luckily he agreed and brought it over and now I have it cleaned up and it's ready to use! I've had a couple of fishtanks before but I never did things properly but now I am ready to this the right way with everyones help.
I am looking to have a dirt tank using Pool Filter Sand as the substate. Using the same methods Marconis did with his 10g dirt tank. (Thread here) I have been watching dustinsfishtanks videos and I really want to try this out.
I want to hold
Ceratopteris thalictroides "Water sprite"
Windelov Java Fern (already own)
Hygro Difformis water wisteria (already own)
Baby Tears (already own but very small amount on lava rock)
Cryptocoryne wendtii 'green' (already own)
This is not set in stone and I am happy to hear any suggestions.
Please help me out I really want to do this right and I need help on selecting the lighting for this future tank because I am very confused. The thing is that I'm not made of money nor am I working because I am about to have surgery and enter college so I am looking for the best bang for my buck!
Thank you, Michael
