Hello all,
I'm in the slow process of setting up a 70 litre low-tech tank (Ciano Aqua 80). It will have pool filter sand substrate, and I plan to have mostly wood for hardscape. In terms of plants, I plan to attach plenty of Anubias to the wood, as well as have Frogbit floating on top. Once it is all well seasoned I plan to add Pygmy Corydoras and possibly some shrimp.
My question is, with this setup, will there be any benefit to a dark start, or shall I get straight to planting the Anubias and Frogbit? Thanks in advance for any advice offered.
