Hi All
Thought I would post my journey here more for me to look back on, this is basically day 1 of starting a planted tank.
Converting a 5 foot marine tank with 3 foot sump heres a pic of when it was new to get ideas, I have thought about a planted tank for years having seen some stunning images but literally know nothing.
I am currently reading and asking questions my initial thought was Discus as like them and I make my own RO water (for the marine) which they prefer (I have read). However it now seems discus and planted tanks are not always successful.
RO Unit
Water Butt for RO
Equipment I have to use which may or not be useful 2 banks of Leds split across tank 3 wavemakers 1 adjustable, 2 x 300w heaters, 1 sump circulation pump returning water through centre weir 2 outflows.
