Well I was going to go for easy to grow (which meant no light and no ferts) but after looking at some of the planted tanks I want to give it a try.
I have an empty, established 35 hex with a biowheel.Being that the tank is so tall I'd love stuff with height but would also love some ground cover.
My plans for stock are as follows:
3 Marble Hatchets
5 Cardinal tetras might go with Emperor's though
2 German or Bolivian Rams
2 or 3 Panda Cory's
What would these guys like? Should I change my filtration setup? I was thinking I'd have to pull the biowheel and put some floss in the chamber instead. Is this right? What type of bulb should I go with and what ferts do you, the experts by experience, recommend?
Plants I am considering:
Baby Tears
Wisteria
Hygro (really like the sunset)
Java moss
Water Sprite
Glossostigma (looks like ground cover)
Thanks in advance gang!
p.s. I am planning on adding the plants first as the fish are on order and will be here...whenever.
