    What should i do?

    Hi guys,

    Initially, i set up a tank with the following for shrimps only,

    1.5ft tank
    2x16w PL light
    Dolphin c700 canister with Mr Aqua CR
    Fan running 24 hours
    Benibachi Soil
    Java fern, java moss and taiwan moss

    But now, due to some reasons, i am not able to keep shrimps. I have four electric blue rams inside. Girlfriend brought it and throw inside. I also have a CO2 tank but not used as i do not really know how to set up and do not know how much to input.

    Because of this, i am thinking of converting to high tech planted to house the rams with some tetras and cories. Should i reset the whole tank and change the soil?

    Shadow bro, teach me how to set up the CO2 possible? It comes with a solenoid twin gauge regulator, bubble counter and a ANS diffusor.

    Sure can, I can come down to your place. Let me know when you are free but not today. Weekday, normally I will be home after 7:30pm.

    I never use benibachi, so can't comment on the soil but your plants is not high demanding plants, so should be OK
