Hello, I'm new to this and I'm setting up a 30 gallon habitat. I'm looking for all the advice I can get my hands on.
I have under gravel filters at the moment, but was looking to add additional filtering. But I'm not sure if I even need it?
The tank has nothing in it apart from under gravel filters, gravel, heater, and water (ph 7 at the moment).
I have only ever kept small (6/7 gallons) cold tanks, goldfish, fantails, dragon eyes, which are quite easy to maintain.
I am planning live planting, which i have never done. this will take some time and thought before I commit. The java fern has been popping up as a good starting point?
Also I would like to have schooling fish in there, but again I'm not sure of what and the amount.
I plan to document this from start to completion, and have started taking images and video of the whole process.
Any advice on any of the above would be greatly appreciated.
