any advice on a relatively low cost, yet accurate testing kit?? I've read in some places that the API master testing kit is good yet on others it states that the colours are hard to read
Or save money and just wait 6-8 weeks.obviously need to check my cycle.
I think that is about the size of it really...So...as long as I plant my tank well enough and don't over stock I should be ok?
I'd hook it up, some water movement is always beneficial even in a low-energy tank.I was planning on heavily planting and not really using a filter if possible, I do have one but it's a crappy HOB by marina (quite low turnover). If I was using that I would want to replace the cartridges with my own filter media. There a 3 small sections so possibly ceramic media, carbon and something else?
I like Amazon Frogbit (Limnobium laevigatum). If you don't mind waiting a couple of days, PM me your address and I'll send you a mixed floater starter pack (and some other low tech. plants).On another note, any particular surface plants you would advise on keeping?
