stem plants are an art to keep. red stem plants is a science. i cannot handle them. after a while they become deformed and start to grow like trees reaching all the way to the top. |

for a start, you need to understand the requirement of plants you plan to grow. from there, you setup the equipment needed for them to grow. eg if you plan to grow HC, you need high light and CO2. if plan to grow nana or fern, low light and without CO2 will do. planning right from the start is impt for planted tank. |

Normally when the manufacturer indicate that the flow rate is 1500LPH, it means when there is no media in the canister. after adding media into the canister ( depends on how you arrange them ), the flow rate will drop 1/4- 1/3 or 1125 or 1000 litres per hour.
for your case, your flow rate might be 2 times per hour only. months later, the accumulated dirt in canister will hinder the flow further and your flow rate might be 1/2 or 750LPH just me 1/2 cent |
