Smile My 20Gal first try journal

ok here we go ... starting with a basic plant package .. nothing fancy i don't think and im just gonna try learning how to keep things alive lol

it's an old 20 gal tank with scratches in the glass

65 watts of CF light ... have a photoperiod of 10 hours

using GW ferts and doing EI dosing ... some confusion here.... there are two plans... one or 10 to 20 gal and one for 20 to actuall i forgot ... but the point being 20 gal fits both so i started with the lower dosing. dosing potassium nitrate, potassium phosphate and plantex.

again my memory is failing me but i have either laterite gravel or flourite gravel mixxed with some basic plain gravel.

im using DIY co2 blowing into an old biowheel filter without the biowheels on... just a gauze mechanical filter. using the mindset that the gauze might help hold the co2 a bit longer

anything else anyone wants to know?
More pics as the night goes on lol im planting as i go so i can make changes if anyone makes a suggestion.
