Greetings everyone this is my first post on FF.
I enter this forum as an experienced 10 year aquarist specialising in african cichlids, however when it comes to co2 planted aquariums i am a little bit green (pardon the pun)
I have read with great interest through the forums and gained some excellent information.
I have just bought a bargain tank from ebay, ebay is brilliant isn't it ?
this can be seen ... here
it's a fluval roma 240... will the installed lighting be sufficient ? 2x39w t8 lights and 2x39w t5 lights ?
This is going to be my planted tank and i am hopefully going to set it up as a fully planted masterpiece, with your help of course !
The lighting of the tank i will discuss on another thread, I would like to order the parts required for the co2 first as they will be coming from overseas (i think)
I would like some help and information and full shopping list for setting up a full co2 fire extinguisher system.
I have looked on other threads but most links on ebay have expired, so could a member please post a shopping list of the items i will need (I am on a budget though and i don't mind waiting for equipment from overseas) preferably from ebay as i have paypal funds... basically if you were setting up a brand new co2 system your shopping list with links if possible
Thankyou in advance if you do reply i really appreciate your help...
I will take photographs as i build the aquarium and co2 parts, the most important thing is i have the patience to build the system first now, where 10 years ago i would be itching to get it allready in a week i know its going to take a little longer i have a timeframe of 6-8 weeks before i add water.
Just one last thing i also have to redocorate the living room before the planted tank goes in, this was the only clause to the new tank being purchased. Have any other members agreed with their spouse or partner "conditions" before getting another tank ?
