I plan on setting up a 55g, I want it to be as close to maintenance free as possible, with quite a few smaller fish, and not too many plants, but enough to have the tank look nice. Will have sand bottom, except the areas I plant will have some of the bagged substrate. 4 48" T5 lights. A magnum cantister filter with bio balls or something in it, with the intake and output at the bottom to minimize gas exchange. Will I need to add a CO2 tank? Won't the fish put out enough to keep the plants going?
