I started my 90 litre planted tank about 6 months ago and I have become addicted. If I did another tank I would do so many things differently and over time. So I am I am upgrading from 90 litres to 180 litres. (Biggest I can fit in space). I have done a lot more research now, and this is my plan, please let me know if I should change anything and have recommendations.
I will be upgrading to the Juwel Vision 180 aquari. This tank comes with 2 x 35W T5 Fluorescent High Light bulbs. One is 6800 K & one is 9000 K. I was going to fit reflectors and I was going to start with the lights on for 10 hours every day.
I will be removing the internal filter and fitting a Fluval 305 external filter. I have gone for a higher lph so that my tank does not have dead spots and helps to circulate the nutrients around the tank.
I will be removing the carbon (as I have read it takes nutrients out the water) from the external filter and replacing with polishing pads.
I will be using 3 inch depth of Eco Complete or Seachem Flourite (not decided) with sand on top.
I will be also adding CO2, I was planning to buy the JBL Proflora u402. I will be adding CO2 during the day and turning off at night then running an air pump.
I am unsure on what fertilizers to dose so I would appreciate some recommendations.
I really would appreciate any recommendations or advice.
Thanks
