Hi,
My fishless planted tank was setup in Mar using coco peat mixed with granular fertilizer, meant for household plants and topped with aqua soil.
Tank is moderately planted with java fern, moss, hair grass, glosso, e. tenellus and c. helferi with pressurized co2.
I had since removed my internal filter with no filter medium that was used for flow, and just bought a new canister filter.
I do perform weekly water change too.
I remembered reading somewhere on this forum that it typically takes about 6-8 weeks to get it established from a new planted tank since almost everything in the tank acts as a huge biological filter.
Since I had the tank from Mar but with a new filter medium, do I need to wait a few more weeks to get some established in the filter?
Thanks!
