Hi all,

I have recently set up a 1 foot cube nano tank.

Freshwater

Black Sand Inert Substrate

Sponge filter

Neo Helios XP 300 (16 watts)

Lava rocks, Driftwood

Anubias Barteri Var Nana (just around 7 leaves)

Java Fern

Java Fern Narrow leaves

Java Moss

Water Wisteria

Fertz: Seachem flourish comprehensive supplement

Conditioner: Seachem Prime

Water: RO water + Borewell water mixed

About to Add

Salvinia Minima

Pothos Gold (emersed)

(Planning to add in future

Taiwan Moss

Anubias Nana Long wavy

Ludwiga repens

Bucephalandra Brownie copper)

My question is. If i wanted to add CO2, and demanding plants, I know this light is not enough. But I just recently bought this 1 week ago. So can i add another Neo helios xp300 side by side. That will make it 32 watts in total? Would i get appropriate par values?

Attaching the current picture for reference. Cube is just 1 week old

Thank you

I have setup a 30cm cube betta tank. Currently housing 1 Betta, 1 apple snail and 1 zebra nerite snail

​

Is this a good bio load or should I need to remove the apple snail?

​

When I asked chatgpt, it said I should remove Apple snail because it adds to the bioload and also it eats the plants sometimes.

​

Need your advise.

​

Thanks.
