I've just setup a 350litre Jewel with Powersand and Amazonia. My question is how to get this setup ready for planting.
I've heard that Amazonia takes a few weeks until it stops leaching ammonia. I am in no rush, so my plan was to leave it 3-4 weeks, or until ammonia/nitite is zero. In the meantime I will do complete water changes twice a week.
So the things I am unsure of are...
1. Do I need a heater in the tank
2. Do I need the pump running
3. Do I need to furnish the filter
Any help much appreciated.
