hey guys,
Just started on my aquatic adventure today by getting a 29g aqueon tank at Petco. It was a $1 a gallon special. Wanted something bigger but figure this isn’t a bad start for someone that never had fishes before.
I did a decent amount of research but still kinda confused on some stuff. But let me tell you guys my plan first and see what suggestions you have for me. I want to use live plants and drift wood. Not too much plants. Don’t want the tank to seem overcrowded. Looking for some beginner plants that are easy to manage
This is the setup I’m going to go with
Tank: aqueon 29g 30lx12wx18h
Filter: aqua clear 70
Heater: aqueon pro adjustable heater 200w
Lights: nicrew classic led
Test kit: api fresh water master test kit
Substrate: Carbisea eco-complete.
Stocking wise.....I really want my main piece to be an angel fish and have a pleco. Not sure what to stock the rest with. Want something colorful.
Plant wise I’m open to suggestions.
To start the cycle I plan on using dr Tim bacteria with ammonia. Also SeaChem prime for my tap water. I also want to add a drift wood. I heard soaking is the best method? Would I be able to soak in the tank during cycling with plants? I plan to Fill with the aquarium with tap water. Use SeaChem prime then add dr Tim bacteria then add the drift wood at the same time, or would I be better off soaking the drift wood separately? Sorry for all the questions, I want to do things right the first time. Thanks for any help and suggestions.
