Here is a noob question for you all..
Im just setting up the tank..
Substrate - Check
Filter operational - Check
Heater - Check
Lighting (acquired but not yet set up)
I wanted to take baby steps and do this right.. Im going to put my bulbs in the hood and test out the lights tomorrow.. to make sure they are ready to go.
Im still waiting for the cloudy water to clear up (assuming it's from the sand/substrate and tank only a day or two old)..
I have no plants or fish yet as I wanted to make sure mechanics were in place and I got the cycling going..
So the big question is.. When should I set up my Co2 system?
I assume setting it up now while nothing is in the tank to interfere is a good idea. Make sure it's operational.. and just wait to turn it on when I get plants in .. but is that an immediate thing or should I wait until after cycling?
What say you, oh wise community..?
I did a search but didn't find anything in relation to timing..
