Luke* Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 = 372 watts total = 1.3w/litre... all good... very good in fact I suggest hairgrass for ground cover, or glosso, or riccia if you can be bothered tying it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke* Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Great news. Are you going to pump some sweet CO2 in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_man Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 not sure may start with DIY co2 for a bit then look at maybe a cheep system later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 With that amount of light you may be battling a bit of algae without a good co2 setup. Regulators can usualy be found pretty cheaply nowadays. I know theres a good tunze one on trademe ATM for $125... Bottles can be rented from BOC for $11 a month, and thats about all you need. Except for a difuser/reactor which you can DIY Good luck with the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
