Amazingly beautiful tanks. Love the fish room as well. I don't want to get into the whole CO2 thing but man, it is tempting after seeing your plants doing so very well.

Wanna come work on my tank? ha h

Knuggs

Thanks :) Not all my tanks have co2 and the ones that dont just grow slower but have pretty much no algae. I kinda like them cuz they are less demanding but not as great for production besides the livestock.

I would if you lived closed ;)

Awesome thank you. Would you have a lighting recommendation for a 20 gallon planted? Currently, I have a single full spectrum fluorescent tube that is seemingly not sufficient.

Knuggs

Is it a 20 long or high?

Malakh

High unfortunately

Big Al's Pets has Zoo Med Aquasun T5-HO Fluorescent Hood - 2 x 24 W - 24"for only 54.99 which is a great deal. I use zoo meds on most my tanks and comes with the option to run one or two bulbs. This would give you enough light to grow anything. I would recommend a 6500k or 6800k and a 5000k bulb. Substrate is really important as well, I prefer eco complete because it last forever and gets better in time if you are using tap water since it already has minerals in it and eco complete has a high CEC which means it holds nutrients. ADA soil you can get fast growth but in time it becomes dirt and loses it punch. I dont even have to dose ferts in my tank. If I had RO water I would need to dose ferts.
