Hi Ive orderd a plant selection from Greenline aquatics and wondered what i can do to prepair the tank for there arrival, I have just 1inc sand as a substrate more in places as the CAE and loaches move it about in heaps lol Im wondering about this florish stuff or something similar, do plants actualy need a soil type substrate and do you cover that with the sand? should i start adding some plant food to the water and start up the c02 system again befor they arrive?
the last lot of plants i got where ruined by bba and the bloody Gourami i found new homes for the gourami but im worried about the return of the dreaded bba any way of stopping that befor it starts?
incidently it may not mean anything but i add eseybalance to the water weekly 30ml to a 240ltr tank as thats what i was told to do, do 20ltr water changes fortnightly ( cant lift the buckets du to athritis)
