Tank Setup Procedure/Sequence (starting with no plants)
I think I might be ready to put gravel, rocks, and driftwood in my 55G
tank this weekend, however, I still haven't finished the lighting yet, so I can't put any plants in. So here's my question ... I know it's best to start with a large number of plants when you first setup your tank so that you have a better chance of outcompeting algea, but what about starting with no plants? I've had the tank setup with water and no light for the last month or so, and I haven't seen a spec of algea (not enough light I'm guessing, or maybe not enough nutrients since there's nothing else in the tank). So would I be shooting myself in the foot and making things harder for my plants once I do get them in there or can I go ahead and set things up so it's all nice and pretty as I wait to get the light finished. Any feedback is highly welcome, Harry P.S. No fish would be introduced until I get the lights finished, and plants into the tank. |
