Hello all, new here.
Wasn't sure where to put this and thought this may be the best place, anywho on with the questions =]
Today I was thinking about setting up a smaller fry/quarantine tank.
So far I've looked at these tanks:
Arcadia Arc Tank 35L: http://www.warehouse-aquatics.co.uk/arc ... 3066-p.asp
If not that tank then something that'll fit on my bedside table which is 16inches long by 16.5inches wide, not bothered about height aslong as it isn't stupidly small or stupidly tall.
The only other I have found is a Clearseal 16x8x8: http://www.onlineaquariumstore.com/acat ... ingle.html
I don't want anything childish, as I am 18 lol.
Anyway onto the plant part. For this to be possible what would be needed?
What sort of lights depending on the tank. *Arcadia come with a Arc Pod light, will that be good enough for plants?*
What size C02 system?
What size filter? *I want it to be spotless so something over what it should normally have would be good*
Instead of having gravel or sand, I would like to have a sheet of planting, not entirely sur what would be a good plant for this, something easy as I'm not greatly experienced with plants. It's hard to explain, I want something that looks like lawn... lol

Like that, but downside for the tank I'll buy. Maybe with some sort of small branch?
Should I use the plant substrate stuff? Or is there otherways?
If it isn't used as a quarantine/fry tank, I'll probably have a Dwarf Pufferfish in there.
Not sure what else to ask so I'll leave it there.
Thanks
