I have just this week set up a new tank. Its 200L 100x40x45 deep. Substrate is JBL aquasoil. Currently (as of yesterday) planted with various Echinodorus, vallis, crypts, alernanthera and hoping to form a carpert with echinodorus tennulus.
CO2 pressurised, but due to cost was aiming at not too high a dose.
It currently has 2 x 39W T5, but once I shift fish from old tank will have 2 more T5 39W at hand- should I use these or will it be too much with moderate CO2- it will give me around 3W per gallon. Was thinking along the lines of an hour on with 2 tubes, 6 or so with all for and an hour with 2 tubes- or is that too much faffing around?
