Going to do a planted tank again. This time strictly ludwiga and elodea and maybe some Java Moss. Keeping it simple and pond like. Walstad with a canister filter. Tried the unfiltered true Walstad with this tank and didn't start off well. Wasn't insta-cycled as I was led to believe, etc etc. Luckily only lost 8 fish in the process. Could of been worse. Five of those were due to an overnight O2 depletion. Again following Ms Walstads advice of adding an airstone only if the fish are at the surface in the morning.
Anyway enough putting Diane Walstad on blast, and admitting I didn't read the book only researched what I found on the web I am to blame. Any ideas, suggestion, comments, etc.?
