Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial/journal of a large-ish (approx 4 footer) low tech set-up? I've done a search and not come up with much.
I'm currently running a 2 foot high tech and am encountering algae problems, I know this is due to too much light. I inject CO2, 2 hrs before lights, add 2ml easycarbo daily , dose EI and have about 25 times turnover with an external filter and koralia 1. That's going to be history soon if I can find the right low tech set-up.
I want to use the existing lights (2x 55w T5 power compacts) on a bigger tank , but due to a new baby arriving any day soon, I would like to just get a lower tech planted tank set-up. What size tank would 110w be good for in a low tech set-up?
Money is not an issue (I'm sorry if that sounds arrogant, but I'm not doing this on a budget and just want to do it right).
Any suggestions/links?
