Hi
Well Ive had loads of help in these forums and I think im finally sorted on the hardware (barring any last minute suggestions \ coments)
Im aiming for a good planted tank with community fish at the the top\middle and bottom.
Within reason im happy to spend quite a bit to get it right. So comments appreciated before I order.
Tank
Rena Aqualife 200 x 50
Dimensions: 201cm W x 51cm x D 70,5 cm H
Volume in litres: 717
Tank Volume in imperial gallons: 157
Water Volume in imperial gallons: 146
Filtration
Tetratec EX 1200 External Filter - 1200 litres per hour
Ceramic Filter Rings
Biological Filter Foam
BB Bio Filter Balls
Carbon
Filter Floss
I’m going to have two of these to ensure good flow throughout and it adds a bit of redundancy and I can clean filters alternatively
Heating
RENA 2x300W Heater / thermostat come with tank
however im tempted to go with 2 HYDOR 300watt inline heaters thoughts ?
CO2
Going to make my own
Lighting
Currently 4 x 58W (232w)
There are suggestion this may be enough ?, I will upgrade to T5 lighting
Substrate
Bottom - Eco-Complete – approx 250lbs to achieve 3 inch depth
Other
API Freshwater Aquarium Master Test Kit
Dry Fert
Bogwood
Plants
