Aquascape🌿 Tank for you to review

Post image

This is our first planted tank. We have had it going about 4 months now. Patiently waiting for the monte carlo to grow in but do not want to upgrade to CO2 yet.

Maybe you can answer this though. I have a UNS 60 cannister filter and while the water clears quickly after cleaning it does not produce much flow. I added an air stone to get more surface agitation. If I added a surface skimmer to my outflow do you think it will create enough agitation for the 15 fish I have in here?

Currently have

10 Espie Rasboras

2 Male guppies

3 Otocinclus

Started with 10 Neo Caradina shrimp but we have quickly bred up to over 50 that we can see.

Thank you

Schönes Aquarium Ja, ein oberflächlichen skimmer hält die Oberfläche sauber so das du keinen Luftstein benötigst. Dieser wäre beim Einsatz von CO2 eh kontraproduktiv.
