I'll be re-scaping my Fluval edge on Thursday and have a few questions
Firstly I'll be putting fish and shrimps in a bucket while I do it, they should be fine for a bit right?
Do I keep the media and filter in the water to save time on the cycling? Or should I just get all new stuff? And do I put the old water back in once finished? If so how much and should I top up with treated water or R/O water?
I notice I once again have some black hair algae will that stop me using the old water?
I have co2 via a can ATM as my budget can't go too far will that be OK? Is it needed or can I go without? I have liquid co2 also.
Should I completely top up to the mark line of the edge or leave a gap between the top glass? I know its designed to be topped right up but I feel that affects the circulation a bit
I know the edge ain't great and I know I could cut lid off but ATM the not an option.
Plant wise I'd like something that is easy to carpet at the front half and just past the middle, so a list of plants that will work would be a great help, I will say I have stock lights and I bought myself a led strip light that I have on top of tank but it says it can be submerged.
All help will be very much appreciated.
