Hi there. I'm new to this kind of setup and need some help picking lighting and advise on some other things.
I have a 3.8g tank I used for keeping my feeder crickets but for a while it has just been sitting in a corner and I came upon a video of plated tanks and decided to start one. I have a semi aquatic terrarium that has 2 minnows a plant and 2 snails I caught in the river and decided to make something nicer.
So I did as much research as I could and came up with getting
14"x8"x6" tank
fluval shrimp/plant stratum
JW Pet Company Fusion Air Pump 200 from amazon
Elite sponge filter
I can't deside weather to get the 13w fluval mini compact fluorescent lamp or the 10w zoo med ultra sun compact fluorescent or zoo med reef sun 50/50 compact fluorescent. The fluval mini is on sale from 50$ down to 24$ cause its discontinued and the zoo med is 11$-15$
I'm gonna put 5 rcs and 5 neon tettras gava moss and 2 small anubius plants the owner of the lfs sugested for a nano low tech tank and see how it goes. I'm still waiting for the filter and was wondering if I can start setting it up now with out the filter to get it established for a few week befor I introduce the animals
