This is the innitial plant of a 125. 72" x 18". Pressurized CO2, soilmaster select substrate, dry ferts 3x weekly. 120 watts from t-8 flora suns, 156 watts from current t-5s with 10k/plant, or 2.2 wpg. I am new to the hobby so with no experience I dont know if i am making any mistakes. If it was your tank what would you do differently? In a few months, once I have everything down and the tank is settled and more stable, I will start getting rid of some of the weeds and add more anubias and mid/foreground. Eventually I would like it to be an Amazonian themed tank, as it has piranha in it, so please keep that in mind. My main concerns are:
Do I have enough variety in plant type/height?
Will these plants be healthy in my setup?
Should I avoid any of these plants?
Do I have too many different plants? As in, should I do fewer species with more of each? For a simpler, better divided, more natural scape, as opposed to having too much random chaos?
Just any general suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Thanks alot!
