So Im doing a dirted/substrate tank for my 20 gallon 

Im planning on using 1.5-2 inch dirt. Then cap it with flourite substrate. Then maybe another cap of pool filter sand for baby tears or small rooted plants.( or did you think it will spread on the flourite>?) 

Then im going to build a DIY co2 system

Hey so i got my 30 gal tank setup with dirt and all and didnt know bab tears needed to much light (2wpg )i was running a little less than one. so they are starting to turn brown so i moved them outside in a small container with dirt. 

So my question is what led light would i need to get a nice carpet of baby tears? or what cheap fixture can i get 

Hey i just dirted my tank first time and want to know if i can get away with growing baby tears with only 1,5 wpg right now i have a dry start cover in plastic wrap
I was also wondering if i should wait for the baby tears to get some roots before i cap it because when i bought them (2) their roots were vary small im scared to cap it cuz the roots arent long enough to reach the soil and idk if its safe please help

does anyone know how to maintain a wet dry filter so that the input and output is the same ? Is their some math formula saying that like EX (1/2 inch pvc makes 300gph ) 

if i dont put any gravel/sand on my fish tank and leave it bare bottom is that ok ? and if i do leave it bare bottom i have diy filter that i would like to hook up by putting 2 400 gph pumps on both sides of my 100 gallon tank is that safe for fish i plan to keep african ciclids and a arowana 

Does anyone know if you can you use play sand in a african ciclid tank ? or even use beach sand ? or the cheapest sand out their please let me know
