Right! The hi-tech adventure begins!
Firstly I'm Matt from Sheffield and I've had a tank for a year now, tried different fish and plants, breeding and I've wanted to set up a hi-tech tank from the start.
It's a black juwel 190 corner tank currently running two fluval 405's, one spray bar and one duck beak outflow.
Depending on what people think I may just use one 405 but I'm not sure yet.
It has two t5's both with clip on 190degree reflectors, one natural light bulb and one daylight.
Got a nice piece of bogwood root that will be the main piece, has sort of a bowl in the root with a overhang over it, then it's pretty hollow underneath. You can't really get perspective from the photos but I'll post them anyway.
She wasnt happy when she wanted a shower!!
Wood will go from back right glass to front left corner-ish.
So I've ordered
3L of JBL volcanic mineral.
5L of Tropica substrate.
20kg of JBL sansibar white.
3 stage 100gpd aquarium, RO water system.
CO2 Regulator with two Gauge and Solenoid Magnetic Valve.
Curved Tweezers.
5x Suction Cup for the Co2 tube.
U-Shape Glass CO2 Tubing Connector.
2m of Clear CO2 Resistant Aquarium Polyurethane Tubing.
High Quality Precision Metal CO2 Bubble Counter with Build-in check valve and Magnify Holder.
CO2 Drop Checker.
2x Precision CO2 Atomizer 70mm Bazooka Diffuser.
Going to order some more glassware for the inlet/outlet.
Just need to source a FE now but might pop up to my local station to see what they say..
I'm basically wanting mainly shrimp in the tank with Otocinclus and possibly nerite snails.
Shall be on RO water.
And my tap waters pH after 24 hours settles at 6.5.
I have absolutely no idea what plants I should get but I'd like a good carpet and the get some nice coverage on the wood. Whilst having some nice high plants along the back that grow out a little if anybody can offer some advice please?
Also going to be dosing ferts (ei)
Is two filters overkill, one is full of media and the other just has sponges with polishing pads and was used as sort of a wave maker to increase flow.
Thanks for having a read and this will be happening over the next few weeks, depending on how long it takes for the stuff to arrive. Shall post photos of the goodies!
Cheers!
Matt.
