I have a new planted tank set up currently with no livestock, about 30 days old. My flow looks to be pretty good but I know that I am massively under filtered for a 300ltr tank. I think that the tank is nearly cycled, I have gone through the cloudy water stage which has cleared up in the past couple of days. I have brown algae which seems to be receding but still quite a lot hanging around especially on plant leaves and the substrate. I think I have a bit of BBA beginning to start up.
My question is when i add a further external filter is there anything specific I need to do or can I just add it and let it mature over time. Not sure if this will have a detrimental affect on the tank,
Thanks
