With the planning phase coming closer and closer to an end, my low light tank rescape will commence around 2 months from now. Over the next two months, I'll be selling off 95% of my plants from the current high-tech build, plus the T5 HO fixture. Yep, I'm converting over to the LED dark side! My tank will have plenty of Cryptocoryne and Anubias, plus some other interesting, but easy, plants! I'm aiming to create a natural scape with no stem plants. I'll be having fish that come from slower moving waters, so the flow rate will be medium (6x per hour...no powerhead...The Honey Gourami will appreciate this). Overall, I'm aiming for a very peaceful, and quiet setting. Here's an outline on what equipment/plants I expect to use:
Filtration and water movement: Eheim 2213 canister filter and the Eheim Skim350.
Water change schedule: Once weekly ~30%
Ferts: PPS-Pro dosed twice a week, plenty of root tabs
CO2: GLA GRO CO2 System with Ista Max Mix reactor (15 ppm to 30 ppm).
Light fixture: Finnex Planted+ 24/7 dimmed and not on 24/7 mode; although, I'd like to use the night light on it.
Fish/inverts: Harlequin Rasboras, Gold Honey Dwarf Gourami, Kuhli Loaches, Ghost Shrimp?, Panda Garra possibly, another type of fish that is TBA.
PLANTS!! (Subject to change): Anubias sp. 'Coffeefolia', Anubias Nana 'Gold', Anubias Nana, Anubias nana 'petite', Anubias 'Round leaf', Crypt wendtii 'Florida Sunset', Crypt wendtii 'Bronze', Crypt wendtii 'Green Gecko', Crypt balansae, Crypt nurii 'Rosen Maiden', Crypt Metallic Affinis Red, Crypt pontederiifolia, Crypt parva, Crypt wendtii 'Mi Oya', Ozelot Sword, Corkscrew Val, Crinum calamistratum, Dwarf Sag, Marsilea minuta, Windelov Java Fern, and a type of floating plant.
I'm looking forward to this easy and lush build!
