Thank you Left C! It is a simple system and it works. We can now help new people interested in staring this exciting hobby. The New To Planted Aquariums forum is the right place to start.
Thank you Edward
I really like your systerm, Edward.
It's very inexpensive and simple for someone new to planted aquariums.
You will probably get some discussion on this; some say yes, some say no. I do not run carbon in my filters unless I am trying to remove something specific from the water, like medication.
I just started dosing PPS-Pro today and I have never seen my tank's plants pearled so much. I'm so excited! It's a 'brand' new tank that I just started. Just rocks and basically gloss with a school of serpae tetras and rummy nose. Will definitely update on this.
I don't see a lot of fast growing stem plants on your list for the 29 gallon. I sometimes get major algae growth about a week or two after starting up a tank. If you see algae starting, keep dosing but immediately cut your light down substantially, maybe in half! If I have an algae bloom I wait about a month, then I start increasing the light by about 1 hour a month.
Thanks for the tip Seattle, I appreciate it. What do you recommend for plants for high lights. I am somewhat picky and want stems that look like Ammannia Gracilis the most. Thanks...
