  1. New to Planted Aquariums
    Hello! I have a 16g biocube that I'm using for a freshwater planted tank that I will eventually add Neocaridina to. For the substrate I used gravel mixed with Tropical potting mix: I then topped it with flourite fine sand. I'm wondering if I made a huge mistake using this mix. It...

    The what, I bought a test kit online for keeping fish, now I see it does not test what I need for planted tanks and tests for before and after of my tap water. Are test strips the best bet or sensors and probes? If I was starting from scratch can you give me a list of what I need to buy for...
