Hi all,
Im getting this cube: http://www.animal-paradise.co.uk/catalo ... ucts_id=41
For my substrate im going to be using eco-complete by caribsea. For co2 im going to be using easycarbo and a fermentation co2 set. I also have a 100 watt heater lying around doing nothing as i bought it accidently, should i use this or is it too big? I do have a juwel 50 watt one that was used for my marine nano when it was setup but im not sure if i want to use it as people say visitherm is better and the 100 watt is visitherm?
Im worried about the filter, will it be up to the job as its only 200lph? Im going to hopefully have 8 corys, 10 galaxy rasboras and then cherry shrimp for the stocking with maybe 2 centre piece fish? anyone reccommend?
If the filter is not up to the job, im looking at a fluval U2 filter, has anyone got any oppinions on these? i was looking at an external but the tank now has to go into a different place so no room for an external
Id like to have a piece of redmoor root in my tank, but im completely unsure about the plant stocking that i'd like. With my previous tank, i just bought a mixture of them and as they grew i took out the ones i didnt like and now the plants are all good, as this is a smaller tank i dont fell i can do this so its quite annoying. Can anyone reccommend any plants that will compliment redmoor root, eco complete and the stocking that i'd like? The lighting is an 18 watt pl light (i think).
Does everything sound alright?
cheers
Will
