@netweit3 true enough. A fish that's twice as large would make 3 times as much waste (because waste production is directly proportional to volume, not size)...but we're not curing cancer here and a rule of thumb and some common sense is good enough.
I like it. Small and simple. Looks awesome. Evenutually you'll have to move the pleco since they grow to 19inchs but yeah whatever this tank is pretty cool.
nah they dont to 19" much in aquariums, but they do grow big! I would suggest keeping those fish and letting them grow, use that extra 2" of fish space left for growth..
Can anybody tell me wether my lighting is good enough for my plants. i have a 20 gallon with a total of about 19 to 20 watts lighting flourecant full hood. i want some low lighting plants like anacharis, java moss, java ferns, anubias, some amazon swords if possible. and i would like to know if they can be planted in pool filter sand or sand. and i would also want to know if i still need to fertilze them.i dont want to use co2 because i cant afford it plese help!thanks.(ANYBODY PLEASE RESPOND)
You might get away with low light plants, but not for sure. Most plants need atleast 3-5 watts per gallon. Like i'm going to plant a 5 gallon tank so I bought a 25 watt light. And if you have problems with algae because of the lighting. 2-3 Drwaf plecos or 1-2 chinesse algae eaters would be a good addition to your 20 gallon. But for lighting. You just get atleast a 60watt bulb up to a 100watt bulb.
it depends on what it includes. You'll need the following:
- The aquarium
- Light and Hood
- Filter
- Heater (Get a Marineland Visi-therm)
- Enough gravel to fill to 4-6cm. (You can get away with pea gravel from the hardware store, just wash it VERY thoroughly before use. It's more work but can save you $20 for an aquarium that size!!).
- Decorations
- Chemicals (a dechlorinator and bacteria supplement)
Got to the store and add it up, see what's cheaper.
