Aquarium Advice Activist
In 3 months im moving out of my apartment, and plan on starting a brand new 40g breeder planted.
this is my painting of the plants.
i want a somewhat low tech setup, i dont mind slow growing. so i was looking at lighting around 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 wpg. i found this Compact Fluorescent Aquarium Lighting: Coralife Aqualight Single Compact Fluorescent Strip Lights
if anyone knows of a sattalite fixture < 100$ id love a link
also hoping i dont need any CO2, maybe i could use excell.
as a substrate i wanted to try the aquariumplants.com substrate.
Lastly I was wondering what kind of filter will i need? canister? would this be a good choice Aquarium Filtration & Water Quality: Rena SmartFilters Power Filters
AND lastly lastly what kind of fish would like this? maybe angles? other type of cichlid, or even dwarf puffer tank?
All advice and comments apreciated!!
