hello all,
ive been stalking the forum for a couple of weeks and finaly taken the dive and got my old goldfish tank out from in the shed and i want to start a planted nano
2 things however are troubling me
i live in a area of the uk that has extremely hardwater (staffordshire moorlands) and havent a clue what equipment i need to get started (filter lighting heating etc)
and is the tank i have too small its 8 inches deep 8 inches tall and 16inches wide i dont know how many gallons this is not many i dont think is it too small?
i planned to keep some shrimp and some (no more than about 8-10) guppies or similar, somthing nice and bright and hardy
any help would be great
a sort of tuturial would be brilliant i know the basics but not for a planted tank
it is a side project however so i plan to keep everything DIY and as cheap as possible
thank you all in advance
