Ok so i started a tank last quarter, and for a while i didnt have plants and fish, so the tank looked horrible because algae took over my plants and killed almost everything. I waited until thanksgiving to bring plants back from SF, and i finally got the tank to a point where it was low maintenance which is what a college student needs! so far its been an easy tank to take care of.
I am running i think a 32watt pc light, this tom rapids canister filter, no heater, an ADA co2 advanced sytstem.
for fish i have these raspora maculatas, yellow shrimp, amano shrimp, and ottos. The shrimp and ottos really cleaned up the tank within a few days it was amazing.
