So, the amount of advice, conflicting and otherwise, is overwhelming. I am shortly to embark on setting up my 34L Fluval Flex using TMC brown Nutrasoil. The general wisdom is that this produces an ammonia spike for a couple of weeks. I intend to leave out the charcoal and go for an extra bag of Biomax ceramic media. My main query is; can I put the plants in right from the word go? This would obviously be preferable to get the project going but will Anubias, Java Fern and maybe Pogostemon suffer if ammonia readings get above a certain level. Also can Bio enhancers be added from the start?
