Hi this is my first attempt at a planted aquascape. I have recently purchased a 180 litre black Italian glass rimless tank from the green machine at there recent ADA day. Great day by the way was left awestruck by the green machines shop its amazing I recommend it to all.
To be honest I'm after some advice about my planned spec for my tank, I have researched hard but as a aquarium novice I fully appreciate I still have a lot to learn.
My current plan is to run a Eheim 2126 external thermofilter and a Arcadia OTL luminaire 4x39w. My CO2 kits consists of mainly glassware, regulator, and tubing etc from aquamagic an ebay shop, I still need to find a C02 bottle I want fairly a large size but not sure what size is best. One of the main problems is I'm not sure about whether to use a Cal Aqua inline diffuser or an aquamedic reactor 1000. The reactor seems like less maintenance and I believe I can run it externally although I did hear you cant use power heads with them and I'd planned to use two Hydor Koralia 1's for water movement. Does anyone know if this is right? Any theories on my diffuser/reactor problem?
I fully appreciate all advice and sorry I had pic of cabinet and tank but couldn't figure out how to put it on.
