HI there,
So, here is everything you need to know about my tank
Dimensions 52" long, 18" tall, 17" deep.
Full set of ADA substrate
decor: Nice big bit of bogwood in there too, with a couple big bits of granite
Lights: 2 x 54W T5 (These) I know that they could be better as these share a reflector. They sit 6 inches above my tank, and hence, a total of 2 foot above the substrate
I have a Tetratec EX1200 filter, spray bar at one end, and inflow at the other end of the tank
I have a very expensive CO2 kit - 3Kg bottle, all glass ware.
So my question is, what do i need to get to make my high tech planted tank work? I know for a start i only have 7x filtration. Do i need more filtration? Or can i just bump it up by adding a water pump to move the water around. Should i get two smaller ones (say 1500L/h each) or one that does 3000L/h?
Lights, i have been told that what i have should be ok? Thought i may want to increase to another T5 the same, so that i'd have 3.
Opinions please!
Big Bad Barry?! I hope you are reading this?
