I put a couple of bigger, small leafed plants in the 29 g. They are soemthing soemthing wort. They are bundled with a lead weight around the bottom.
My light fixture is standard flourescent tube (one tube). i would like to add some CF lamps, but I am not sure how to go about doing this. (1) do i need a new light fixture (my tank is a acrylic with a strange little light fixture so I am worried about fit).
Also, I aerate the tank via a 310 power head. I had always understood this to be a good thing and did not realize teh impact it had on plants and co2. The filter I use puts out a good volume of water at the surface (penguin 150) and I can turn the aeration off on teh power head so that it just creates surface tension. I am going to make a DIY co2 injection bottle to see if that will help my plants (I also plan on adding additional live plants).
So, will turnign off the aeration on teh power head hurt the fish? Will adding the CO2 and allowing the filter and power head to disturb surface be sufficient oxygen? thank you all veyr much for your help.
