Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello all,
I am setting up my first aquarium, a 29 gallon that I would like to plant heavily. I have been lurking around on the forum learning tons of information from all your posts for a week or so. The question I have today is about lighting. My tank came with a 24" 17 watt T-8 with 10,000K. I added an additional lighting hood with two 23 watt CFL, 6500K each. I am wondering if this set up will work for plants with strong light requirements or if I should stick to moderate or low light plants. I am alos wondering how I should add CO2 to the tank. I built a small CO2 reactor using a gatorade bottle, yeast, sugar, water and airline tubing. Should I add the CO2 in small doses or put the tubing into the tank to disperse all the time?
Thank you very much for your help! I have already learned so much from all of you I look forward to hearing the response to these questions!
