just got a Rena panorama 100(bow fronted i know but the missus liked it and it was a bargain price)
its got 2 25 watt T8's but i could easily fit another 2 in if needed
fluval 205 i know im gonna need more flow so will get another canister to run alongside it when funds allow
jbl co2 with solinoid and reactor?
bog wood
next thing on the list is substrate but im really not sure what i want/need,want a dark sub because im gonna be getting congo tetras whens its all run in and mature and want to try and grow a nice carpet of hc? but want to keep an open area of the sub to contrast with the plants.
what sort of depth sub should i aim for or it that a personal thing?
any recomendations on a sub that wont break the bank?
the first plants that will be going in will be java moss on the bogwood wont be setting up the co2 till i get the circulation sorted out(or will it still be a benifit or just a waste of co2?),will the moss be ok with the lighting/circulation that i will be using initially(just wanna get the tank set up)
is there such a thing as an off the shelf all in one fert that would be ok till i get my head around the whole fert thing?
so the main things i need to know are
how much aditional lighting do i need,if any?
what filter should i get to run alongside the 205?
what sub/depth should i aim for,budget about £50-£60?
is it worth instaling the co2 yet?
will the moss grow/establish with the current set up?
what off the shelf ferts?or are they not worth it
sorry for all the questions but ive been through loads of posts and there all about individual setups,im trying to take in as much as i can but alot of it is still over my head although i think its starting to make sence...lol
thanks in advance dave
