Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello,
I recently bought a 29gal aquarium (30lx12dx18h) and am trying to decide which direction I want to take with the substrate. The walstad method seems to be the cheapest way to go (I've already got organic miracle grow and the old gravel the tank had in it), but I'm also considering eco-complete (more as a last resort kind of thing, due to cost).
I currently have a 10g tank going with wisteria, vallisneria, cabomba, bacopa caroliniana, java fern, anubias, hornwort, a tiny bit of hitchiking duckweed, and java moss (whew, it seems like a ton when I type it out! but I wanted to make sure I had all the plants ready to go for when I get the 29 set up). Do you think this combination of plants would work well using the walstad method?
Currently I have just a t5 light above the tank, but am hoping to upgrade to a finnex as soon as I can afford it.If you have any experience with these lights, do you know if the fugeray (Finnex FugeRay - Finnex Canada) would be a decent light to go with or would the ray II be a better option?
