If you get a filter, I think this would be adequate and it’s cheap, you could probably find a used one. Just get a cheap wave maker for added circulationTomorrow my tank might be clean enough to scape!
Rock only would make maintenance for easier for sureOnce I completly wash through the substrate and remove the mulm and clear the water it should be okay to scape I’m thinking of maybe doing rock only
That’s good if you found a new AC70 for $50, but the powerhead idea should workThe aqua clear is $5 more I will probably just do like 2 5$ powerheads one near the substrate one at the surface
