My 20g planted tank setup:

2x Hagen Plant Grow Natural System with CO2

a 15 pound bag of Seachem fluoride

a 15 pound bag of Flora Base

Hagen Glo T5 HO Linear Fluorescent Lighting System with x2 24 watt bulbs(13,400k)

fish: 20 neon tetras, bushynose pleco, ghost shrimp, ottos cherry shrimp

Let me know what you think....I also was wonder what kind of filter i should be running on this tank? HOB makes to make surface agitation.

Thanks and plz criticize me and tell me what i am doing wrong.

well its really not looking great right now.....went away for whole summer and dad messed it all up so i just started to redo the tank....i just wanted to know if there was anything i should change or add.

And i still need a filter wat to use?

 

[grim7989]

a lot of plant guys will preach that you need a canister filter i run an hob on my 29 gal and i have never had a problem with it its really up to the user the only one i would suggest not using is a bio wheel it sounds like you got a good start i would like to see it when you get it done i use diy yeast co2 used to run it through the filter intake it self then i went out and bought a glass diffuser and put the thing right below the outlet of the hob filter so it blows the bubbles all around the tank works just as well

in my 29 gallon with that light and presurized co2 im running one interal 1 plus filter and thats it. works good i have a low bioload but dose nitrates and other fertz will add a second filter when i put a pair of discus in the tank. but thats just what im doing.
