I'm going to venture into a low tech 5g here are some specs:
10"x10"x11" cube
ADA Powersand with florabase on top 3" to? Or 100% florabase? Or powersand with normal gravel?
6500k 1.4 wpg on for 12 hours
flourish and excel every sunday only
will I be able to do monthly 50% water changes only?
heavy fish load (dwarf rasboras suggestions?)
some shirmp (cherries want to breed)
would an aquaclear mini(20) work or is it too much?
do i need diy co2?
100% tap or 100% ro?
what heater would you guys suggest(submersible)? Thinking aobut vis therm deluxe.
Next can you guys help me decide on a scape? Which one would look more pleasing? Please advise on these scapes, I have my mindset on these only.
1. All rocks(zen style one big second 50% smaller and a smaller rock elsewhere), with xmass moss foreground only.
2. All rocks(zen), with marselia forground only
3. All rocks(zen), with hairgrass only(will the grass grow?)
4. All rocks(zen), with HC(I don't think it's possible with low tech but what do you guys think?)
5. Branches with rock base, xmas moss everywhere
Should I set this tank up with water from my 10g established? Or should I just cycle this like a new tank(will I need hornwort?)?
