Hey guys i got a question that hopefully someone has more knowledge on than me, im almost ready to setup my tank but can figure out if i want glosso or microsword as the carpet, im leaning more towards the microsword side onlg bcoz ive heard glossostigma is a fussy thing, so heres my tank specs and hopefully someone can give me the answer as to if id have enough lighting foe glosso, if i got enough lighting then ill go that route.
Tank specs are as follows:
600mm long/300mm high/300mm wide( ive worked it out to roughly 50 litres)
Lighting specs are 2X18watt aquazonic max bright fluorescent about 100mm from the water surface.
Substrate specs are:
Base layer(1 inch) of darltons aquatic mix with a 1 inch capping of either black silica sand or black brightwater pebbles( 3mm to 6mm) from hollywood fish farm.
Tell me what you guys think, im going for a sort of takashi amano style tank with heaps of java fern and a few anubiuses plus a carpet of some sort.
