Taking advantage of our sponsors aquariums ltd's offer I just ordered a opti-white, rimless, braceless tank, 60x45x45 and I'm very, very excited!
I had intended to use the same equipment that I had on my other 60cm (a 60x30x30).
I've already got a ex1200 and a fluval fx5 but aren't sure which to use, the ex1200 I'd use a extra pump to increase flow in the same way I recommended to Sam (themuleous) something like the eheim compact but I'm not sure which if that'd be the best choice in pump I'd also run the co2 and heating on this closed loop that or a ex1200 if I can find one cheap enough...
Lighting wise I have a german over tank luminaire, 2 x24 watts but I'm concerned the light spread/intensity will be insufficient? Ideally I'd like to avoid buying more lights as I'll be getting substrates etc and it can all get very expensive very quickly.
I could stretch to new lights but I'd want to diy led something if that's the case, provided I could find a suitable body to retrofit.
Halide I'm afraid just isn't an option, 150w is going to be far too expensive in terms off running costs I'm thinking.
Any thoughts?
Recommendations?
