Hi all,
I'm new to the aquarium hobby but I've been doing a lot of reading here and I've started to buy what I need. I still have a few lingering questions which I hope aren't too newbie to ask.
1.) I want to do fish-less cycling and I've been trying to buy ammonia to do that. However most household ammonia seems to have addons (at least at the Wal-Mart I went to). What should I be looking for exactly?
2.) As a follow up, how much ammonia should I be adding into the tank to get 5ppm?
3.) I'm looking into plants and I was wondering if Eco-Complete substrate is a good way to go for that
4.) I guess I have two 24 inch light fixtures which came with 1 15 watt bulb for each. If I buy 2 50 watts and 2 30 watts would that be enough?
5.) As far as cleaning goes, I understand water changes but whats the deal with the substrate?
Thanks for your time and for your help.
