Hi all.
So ive recently decided to go high tech (on a budget) with my Fluval Vicenza 180 Bow fronted tank.
Im doing a Dark Start to cycle the tank. Currently on day 7.
Basics are:-
External Cannister Filter. (Fluval 205)
DIY Led Lighting (High light level)
FE CO2 System with Solenoid and timer.
Heater (Duh)
Air Stones
Stone and Wood decor
Substrate is Fluval Stratum
Plants i am planning on getting are(Not ordered yet)
Micranthemum tweediei 'Monte Carlo'
Taxiphyllum 'Spiky'
Staurogyne repens
Alternanthera reineckii 'Mini'
Alternanthera reineckii 'Rosanervig'
Eriocaulon cinereum
Bacopa caroliniana
Blyxa japonica
Vallisneria americana 'Asiatica'
I will weekly dose with TNC Complete.
So here comes the questions?
Would you recommend a Wavemaker or Powerhead?
Is there anything else i should be considering?
Livestock wise other than a clean up crew of Amano Shrimp, Otocinclus and Nerite Snails ive not made any decisions.
Any help and advice would be greatly received.
