Links are either products that I use and am satisfied with, or to other educational resources such as peer reviewed papers, my YouTube videos...etc.

This chart is for reference only. I cannot guarantee the same results in your tank. The chart is meant to be used in conjunction with my journal notes as a starting point for your own research.

All tanks have day lights 9AM-5PM and reusable filter media 

All filters, heaters, and lights at least minimum requirement for planted tank size.
