New Planted Tank - Order of Events
So I nearly have all the kit for my Juwel Trigon 190 Aquarium
190 Litres which will have external filtration (Eheim 2178 Professional 3e 600T Thermofilter) and CO2. Substrate of TMC AquaGro Nutrasoil Brown
So after browsing the forum I just want to check that Im on the right lines for the order of events
So assume the the tank \ kit is setup
do the scaping with the substrate, rock \ wood etc
Fill tank to a couple of inches above the substrate.
Plant
Fill tank compleley
Daily photo period of say six hours (can be increased in the future once everthing is stable)
Daily CO2 for six hours but starting 1 hour before photo period starts and completing an hour before photoperiod ends
50% water change weekly for the first 3 weeks
Liquid fertilizer added daily
Post 3 weeks look at adding fish when the regieme for water changes and fertilizer will change
Am I on the right lines ?
Regards
