Hi all I am geting items together for my recent purchase of a JUWEL VISION 260 which I have just reseald and fitted a new BOTTOM FRAME to.
I have picked up a fully working in as new condition OASE BIOMASTER 350 WITH WORKING HEATER for my filltration needs.
I am wanting to set up a peacefull comunity fully planted tropical freshwater tank. I am in no hurry and everything will be done however long it takes ie maturing the tank just with plants before addding fish ect. I have been reading up on substates ect and it can be quite confusing also extremely costly dependind on what you parchase I did read that JOHN INNES #3 which is relatively cheap could be used on its own or mixed to provide the sabstrate for root growth and nutrients. I don't mind the cost but don't see the point in paying through the nose for something that dosn't need to be bought to do the same job. I am throwing myself at you mercy in asking for the comunitys experience and recomendations of how to proseed with the substrate.
My original post was for recomendations for a realy QUIET AIR PUMP operate an air stone I have seen resonable seviews on the TETRA SILENT RANGE any help would be gratefully recieved.
Many thanks in advance
