This is a new journey for me and any input would be appreciated. I have a 29 gallon that I have been slowly upgrading. Here's the specs on my tank.
Substrate: Straight Pool Filter Sand. Ordered 2 bags of Seachem Onyx Sand though... Anyone had experience with this stuff?
Lighting: Reef style Compact flourescent, one 65w 12,000k daylight bulb, one 65w actinic bulb
Filter: Penguin 350 HOB filter, and a hydro sponge filter.
Fish: 4 platy, 1 male betta, 1 bristle nose pleco
Plants: Telanthera, Narrow leaf Java Fern, Water Sprite, Sunset Hygro (I think), Bacopa Caroliniana, Golden Pond Penny, and a couple I don't know.
Can anyone tell me what this palm tree looking stem plant in the sand is? A couple of the plants I got from a friend, he couldn't tell me what they were himself.
I am planning on changing out the actinic bulb soon as well as trying this onyx sand. Also thinking of what other fish to put in. Thinking some Angels for sure, maybe some tetras, and would like to try some german blue rams too. The tank has been planted since February 3. Most the plants melted a good bit due to the change in lighting and probably due to the lighting being insufficient. At the time it was just a 20w General Electric T8 bulb. Would love to here input and thoughts to help make this better.
