Subject: Help with setting up a new plant tank...
Ok, this is my first post and request for help, so please bare
with me.
I have a 55 Gal tank and two 10 Gal tanks. I wish to eventually
populate my 55 Gal tank with as many plants as possible, as I didn't like
the artificial looking decor in it. But I want to start off with one of
my 10 Gal tank first.
Now, here comes the questions (please bare with me, as I'm new to this):
What sort of gravel should I use? Should use any sort of a
filtration system such as an under gravel filter? Should I just use
gravel? Or should I use an additional level of some sort of filtrate?
And what kind of filtrate would that be. Also, what kind of lighting
would I need for this little 10Gal tank? I think I'll stop there for
now. But any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks much...
