I actually have two questions.
First, for my 180gal, do I time the lights on and the CO2 solenoid open to the same time or do I stagger them. Likewise for lights off/CO2 off. Also, do the regular generic florescent lights that come with every aquarium setup have any real affect on the CO2/ph level or alge? I am thinking of adding these for a longer viewing time. I am going diy lighting for all my lighting and using T5 for my main "day time".
Second, I have decided to turn my current 55gal into a low tech shrimp tank. I have heard many people talk of this site, and this page specifically. www.aquariaplants.com/lowlighttank.htm
Now, what say you to the no water change, the "bio-wheel is ok" part and the peat in the substrate? I had planned on doing mineralized soil.
