Hi all,
I'm from Myanmar and currently staying in Singapore. Even though I got some experiences with fish keeping, I never lay my hand on aquatic plants before. My tank is still in planning stages and plz guide me and plz honestly point out my mistakes. Thanks in advance. Here is some of my tank spec ~
Tank - 90cmx45cmx45cm (12mm thickness) braceless & rimless tank.
Lighting - T5H0 illumax pro lighting set (planning to use 2x39w and 2 x24w T5 light tubes)
Filter - Eheim pro II 2026 external filter (rated for 350L tank but some people say too small for my tank. "is it true?")
CO2 fertilization - 5L pressurized CO2 tank with JBJ solenoid (using external CO2 defuser)
Substrate - ADA Amazonia 3x9L bags
Fertilizer - Wonder-Gro Set (Macro+,Micro+ and Root+)
My tap water parameters are (using API test kits) ~
pH - 7.2
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 0
kH - 3
GH - 5
Phosphate - 0.25
Average Temperate - 28 deg C (hopefully can lower 1 or 2 deg C by using Fans only) (can't afford chiller)
My tap water is very soft and I guess ADA substrate will further lower down my pH and kH. I'm afraid it'll crash the pH and so I'm planning to put some crash corals in filter to buffer pH. How do you guys thinks and what can I do about it? Please kindly give me some inputs so that I can improve before actually set up and unchangeable.
