Hello,
In the process of making a new tank, taking my time and slowly buying everything I need before introducing plants and fish.
Currently, it is a 60 gallon tank, 48 x 12 x 24, at the moment just have silica sand in the tank.
I have 2 x Aquaclear (Hagen) 70 Power filters, the plan is to add some drift wood, and then some what heavily plant it and then eventually some schooling fish. I have an Air pump that I was planning to use as well.
So I have heard, during the day it would be best to turn the air pump off as the plants need CO2, and then I can turn it back on at night. I have never owned a circulation pump but they seem to be pretty popular in fresh water tanks now.
Would an circulation pump be overkill as I already have the air pump and 2 power filters, or would it be beneficial because the sand.
Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences.
Thank you!
