I'm planning to start a long 5 gallon tank about half the height of a regular 10 gal tank.
I want to do HD carpet only using ADA soil. This will of course going to be slow and take up to 2 months.
I don't want to inject CO2 since it will be a garden for my SS CRS. So looking to do dry start.
I search and found couple dry start threads but none is specific about how to start one.
My questions are:
1. Lighting (I'm using Fugeray 24" Led/Moon light) good to start? Led save electricity
2. Using microwave wrap to cover the top for humidity vs acrylic?
3. How do plants exchange CO2 if it covered up? Do I have to inject CO2 regularly in there to promote growth?
4. If I do have to inject CO2 or using liquid CO2 at dry start, when filled up later will it be safe for CRS?
Thanks
