Yep, that's right, more questions about the same darned 50g tank. I just compiled all my remaining questions into one thread, so it'll be easier to sift through.
1. I am planning on shifting back to my idea of using 60lbs of Eco-Complete. Is it rich ENOUGH to support crypts, swords, and lotuses without root tabs? I can do root tabs, but I would go through them fast, I'm sure.
2. I have compiled a list of plants that I want in this tank, and where in the tank I want them placed. Specifics about the tank are below the list, along with a link to the light I want.
Plants I want for the 50g
Background –
Back/left corner –
A. Red Cabomba
B. Purple Cabomba
Back/back –
A. Alternanthera Reickneii
B.
C.
Back/right corner –
A. Contortion Val.
B. Jungle Val
Midground –
Mid/left – Swords?
Mid/mid – Dwarf Sag
Mid/right – Red tiger lotus
Foreground –
Fore/left – Ranunculus Inundatus
Fore/mid – Ranunculus Inundatus
Fore/ right - Ranunculus Inundatus
Any ideas? Thoughts? Criticisms? Suggestions for more/less plants?
Usual pH: Around 8. Varies by tank.
Lighting: Amazon.com: Odyssea 36" T5 HO Aquarium Light Dual Fluorescent Hood Fixture - Plant 2x39W: Pet Supplies
Fertilizers: I (will) dose full EI dosings of N,P,K, and micros. If root tabs are needed for specific plants, I will put a few in there. I have 50 root tabs rich in a ton of things coming in today.
Will be using pressurized CO2 (Or CO2 of any kind [Excel, DIY, or pressurized]) No.
Size of tank: 50 gallon acrylic (36" long, 20" high, 15" wide)
If I have more questions, I will be sure to add them!
Thanks!!
