Well let me start this off with my latest endeavor IMG_0015.thumb.JPG.6bfcf16ca0639de90c715f86f7cc7558.JPGIt is a standard 5.5

Just started this tank 2 weeks ago it is one of many of my nano planted tanks(had to do something with the plants i trimmed back in the others right}

 

It Is dirted which is whyu it has all the tannins in the water

 

Equipment is a s follows

5.5 Gallon tanbk form Big Box store

AQ 20 on back

     Foam sponge

     Bio balls

     Crushed Coral to buffer for adding Shrimp later down the road

Nicrew Classic light

Some lace rock

mopani wood

Magi Float

Filter sponge for AQ intake

Hydor 50 watt heater

 

Livestock as follows

Guppy breed in one of my other tanks

Ramhorns snails form same tank

2 nerite snails

 

plannned live stock after plants grow dense

6 Corydoras Pygmaeus

And as many Freshwater shrimp as i can breed in my other tanks

Will the AQ70 be enough flow or will i need to amp it up with a powerhead in the 10 gallon?!

Also i heard i could amp my AQ70 by adding a AQ110 impeller is this the case ? Anyone out there doing this?
