Advice on this set up???

[hazeljane]

Hi all im new to planted tanks so go easy on me lol.

I have 6ft x 2ft x 15inch tank and in the process of setting up,the equipment ive got and planning to use are:
Dennerle full c02 injection with night time shut off running of a FE bottle of 13kg.
Dennerle under substrate heater of 75 watts.
Dennerle Duomat and ph controller.
Dennerle coc400 Bio station.
2 fluval 405's external filters.
2 80 watt t5 aqua medic plant grow,a 54 watt t5 aqua medic plant grow and a 54 watt juwel high lite day tubes.
All the above lights have reflectors.
Tropica substrate,ada nile sand and fine quartz gravel.
TGM petrifed wood/stone as decoration.


My plan is to plant 3/4 of the left hand side of the tank fading to a sandy section on the right.
The plants i want to use are Vallis,Echinodorus tenellus,Dwarf crypts.

A couple of questions really:

Would there be enough co2 going through the Bio Station or could i split the feed through another diffuser??
Would i need to increase the lights,filteration,flow??


Your thoughts please,
Many thanks in advance.
Stu. :? :? :?

Hi,

Well It`s Your tank. It`s about Your happiness Having nice tank is not about showing tank and judging by other persons. This is my opinion.
We talk about some kind of art. You like Metallica I like Irish folk songs... Who is "better"[?]

Anyway if U ask about advice. I`ve got just one. More plants, more plants, more plants. When U buy big tank, U buy also big number of plants, if not - You asking for troubles.

Many thanks

Stu.
