Hi Guys,
Just bought the stuff needed to set up a 80G hi-tech planted tank, I all need now is some advice
Specs :
Tank : 5ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft (303 ltrs)
Lighting : Arcadia 5ft luminaire having 4 T5's 54W each, plus a "normal" 4 ft luminaire having 2 x 32W T8's. This luminaire is situated 1 foot over the tank.
Substrate : 1st Layer (bottom) : 3 bags of Prodac Humus + 2 Bags of Prodac Humus Plus + 3 Bags of Aquatic Nature Fertiplant A.B.F. ;
2nd Layer : 5 bags of Ferti-Soil ;
3rd Layer : 40kg of 4mm grey gravel.
Co2 : 5kg Pressurized system with regulator and solenoid to work through a Weirpro pH controller.
This is my first planted, though I have some experience with freshwater keeping and breeding fish, plants are relatively new to me.
The advice needed is regarding the aquascaping and the selection of plants ?
The plants I have in mind at the moment are a mixture of mosses, pelia, nice red stem plants and a carpet of HC.
