Joe Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Waht do you mean by 'a good bubbler'? If you mean air pump with an air stone, that provides no CO2 at all. You need to make up a CO2 mix in a juice bottle. There is already a thread on here about DIY CO2. Phoenix44's tank is 200 liters, 120x45x45cm I think... Anyway, he has 4 54watt T5HO PowerGlo tubes on that tank, plus 2 T8 tubes. Your single energy-saving bulb will probably only be good for low-light plants and green plants (basically plants that don't have high lighting requirements). I would go for a 70watt Metal Halide or a 24watt Hagen T5HO Glo unit. If you want good filtration you should use an Aqua One CF500 (cheap, and comes with low-quality filter media), but I would use a Fluval canister or an Eheim canister.
