Hi,
I've been around aquariums for many years, but for the past few months I've been hooked on how to create a fully planted tank. Now here our my specs:
100 gallon wide tank
260 watts of light coralife 4x65 (right now its 2 10k kelvin and 2 acintic light)
going to add fluorite as substrate, still waiting on lfs ot get more in, so far I have 46 lbs worth ( should I buy more? or mix it with gravel to create 50/50)
Now, heres the co2 situation. I have a friend who has a large, probably 20lbs tank filled with pure 02, and he also has a regulator on it, that has two gauges. ( was used to bag and ship fishes)
He said I'm more then welcome to use it, now after I refill it with co2, what other components do I need to get it started?
co2 will make my plants grow fast, but with 2.6wpg is it mandatory?
All comments and tips are appreciated.
