Moved On
Ok all,
Over the past two months i have started a project where I am building an aquarium of 780 Litre (171 (UK) Gallons or 206 (US) Gallons
I have done the DIY
Concept of the whole project Whole project idea and plan
Background Phase Bulding of a styrofoam background
Building a Bio Sump filter and flow control system DIY Sump and flow control
So this post is going to be about the planting and population of plants into the aquarium.
Ok so before i start asking for adivce over the planing of the aquarium this wat will be coming into the aquarium.
There will be a fully programable DIY CO2 system.
The lighting will be T8 lamps approximatly = 8 x T8 54w lamps
2 x sylvania aquastar tropical light spectrum 10000k
2 x sylvania Growlux Healthy Plant Growth
2 x Osram Lumilux Daylight 5000 lm
2 x Narva Colourlux Daylight 5000lm
Also there will be 12 x T8 Lamps 18W
I havn't purchased the bulbs for these yet.
I also have 2 x 80w l38 spots.
I haven't built the hood yet so this hood project will go hand in hand with the plant, CO2 system.
Ok so you now have a basic idea of the lighting and CO2 that i will have. I now need ideas, suggestions, pointers, for planting and running my tank.
A member pointed out that i should also be looking into some type of fertiliser. I havent got a clue over this i will be needing your help with it.
Oh and i will be looking as a medium to heavy planted tank. This will be good for breeding and hiding for the fish.
And another thing is i will be having a small fish max 10cm well except for the angel fish and the plecco's
I will be posting questions here but if you know of any good threads i should read please post them here.
Many thanks
Fozzy
