    Nope that sounds good as you will have more water in the system and all your media at the bottom which will be easy to get at, and as you say you can put plants in there to help with the ecosystem.

    Yep same leds they have a fresh water setting on them but tbh they look the same to me there is a season setting as well but as far as I can tell that just puts them on 100%
