hi there ,
i was wondering if after a while away (ex wife lol )some of you would take a look over my new adventure and see what you think of the set up and proposed regime.was hoping that the lighting/co2/fert regime would allow the growth of a glostostima carpet ?
tank details
osaka 255 open top tank - volume with filter and pipe work approx 260 litre
lighting
4x 36watt light tubes suspended 6 inch from surface of water controlled so that 2x on for 12hrs and two others on for middle 6hrs
filtration
eheim 3e 2074 (controlled by computer for full flow at night and pulsed flow during the day)
co2 system
co2 inlet from glass spiral diffuser fed via a 2kg pressurised system(set on timer for one hour after lights on to one hour before lights off/low ph stops also)measured via in tank glass reageant checker.
heating
heated by a inline 300 watt heater and set at 26 degrees
subrstrate
2.5 inch layer of red sea flora base (pre washed)
control system
whole tank is controlled via a aquatronica unit temp/ph/lighting /heating overide
fert dosage
trace 3x a week 1/4 tsp
kn03 3x a week 3/4 tsp
k2po4 3x a week 3/16 tsp
mgs04 3x a week 1tsp
