New Set Up

[listykoi]

Hi all im new to planted tanks so go easy on me lol.

I have 6ft x 2ft x 15inch tank and in the process of setting up a south american theme tank,the equipment ive got and planning to use are:
Dennerle full c02 injection with night time shut off running of a FE bottle of 13kg.
Dennerle under substrate heater of 75 watts.
Dennerle Duomat and ph controller.
Dennerle coc400 Bio station.
2 fluval 405's external filters.
1 80 watt t5 aqua medic plant grow,a 54 watt t5 aqua medic plant grow and a 54 watt juwel high lite day tubes.
All the above lights have reflectors.
Tropica substrate,ada nile sand and fine quartz gravel.
TGM petrifed wood/stone as decoration.


My plan is to plant 3/4 of the left hand side of the tank fading to a sandy section on the right.
The plants i want to use are Vallis,Echinodorus tenellus,Dwarf crypts.

A couple of questions really:

Would there be enough co2 going through the Bio Station or could i split the feed through another diffuser??
Would i need to increase the lights or filteration??

Your thoughts please,
Many thanks in advance.
Stu.

Hmm, Vallis and Crypts are Asian

The Fluvals should be fine, I use a 305 on my planted tank. Personally, I like *lots* of light, but your setup sounds good (about 2w per gal).

Anyway, give me a shout when you start looking for the plants, if you are in UK
