I have recently set up my 20 long for a medium tech tank to maybe eventually a high tech. It's been cycling for about two weeks now.
Light: two hanging dome shop lights with 10 watt CFLs on 6 hrs a day, 3 on 2 off 3 on. I will be getting a planted plus 24/7 for it within the next month or so, so the shop lights are temporary.
Substrate: regular ole playground rock. I use it because my local nursery center sells a 5 gallon bucket for $3
Filters: aquaclear 20 and aqua tech 15
Fish: none at the moment but I'm thinking a pair of gbr, 8-10 neons, 5 panda Cories and 5 ottos
Ferts: liquid ei dosing from nilocg aquatics and seachem root tabs
Co2: stupid fluval cartridges (what I could afford at the time). My plan is to get an aquatek regulator with solenoid hooked to a paintball tank.
Aquascape: the picture I post shows the tank empty besides an anubias I threw in there for the hell of it and a Amazon sword that I'm trying to bring back to life.
The plan is to put a piece of driftwood I have (currently soaking) as a center piece at the back of the tank with a sword on either side of the driftwood. And I don't know what I'll do after that. I have a tall anubias (can't remember the name), an Indian red sword that I can put in there for sure but don't know where I'll put them.
The driftwood should be in there in the next few days and I'll post another pic
