Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I have a 29 gallon lightly planted tank with a few various anubias and a ribbon plant (not sure now if that was the best idea)
I just bought a new light The National Geographic 24" Deluxe Programmable LED Aquarium Light. Since I got the light I have had an algae problem with the brown and spotted green.
I wanted to change the substrate from the pool filter sand to the Eco Complete or the flora max, but my frugal side wants to go with the Miracle Gro Organic potting mix. Not sure if that is going to be the best plan or not.
Honestly, I don't know about the light, I love the way it looks. It is much brighter than my old T8 light I had that burnt out. But I don't know if its the right kind of lighting or if its considered high output or low or what. Can anyone point me in the right direction on an affordable way to get some nice plants and upgrade the substrate? I don't think I am ready to jump into doing any co2 just yet.
