Fish Crazy
ok i thought i read up alot about plants but it seems that i didnt know enough and am very confused. have tons of questions, and i appreciate anyone who answers.
1. I have one average 15 watt and a 20 watt 50/50 rare phosphate t-something in a 29 gallon tank. where can i get better lights and what kind of lights do i need? im hoping to get about 3 watts per gallon.
2. i have a simple 2liter CO2 yeast, water, sugar, am i forgetting something. it goes through a tube and then goes into the tank through this thing with tons of small holes releasing the bubbles as very small bubbles. do i need to do anything else for it?
3. i have small grain natural gravel called sting ray gravel. but do i need another substrait for nutriens?
4. I have a HOB filter that is for 55 gallon tanks, not bio-wheel. the tank is filled high so you dont hear it at all, and the water rises over where the lip of the releasin is for the water so it hits water before falling down full length. no oxygen bubles that eyes can see and just a little current. is this ok?
5. i dont have any nutrient tablets do i need?
6. i am goin to start a project of building my own top for my tank where glass would cover the tank then have a little area for filter. then i would have a wooden top that would be built completely seperate like the ones you can buy that would have like 3-4 lights built into it. Lighting suggestions? would this work so i can grow any plants.
7. when do i know when to cut and how do i, and can i plant them by just moving cravel over then placing plant roots in the hole, and then covering it? where i get plants they are cuttings from the plants, any sites that tell how to properly plant?
8. with my lighting right now is it sufficient lighting, and what plants can be grown?
9. am i dong anything else wrong.
i have a few fish, 4 tiger barbs (mabye giving to a friend) BN, 5 tetras, few sunburst platys. and maybe and angel or 2 if i give barbs away.
