Aquarium Advice Activist
Ok guys, I've finally got my 75, and want to take my time setting it up proper for planting. I could really use this forums advice as this will be my first time using a soil/gravel substrate. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
1) I was going to use MiracleGrow Organic as the base, then use black gravel and sand on top of that. Thoughts? Any recommendations on gravel or different substrates?
2) I understand I will need to plant heavy for this tank to help against the growth of Algae. Is this statement true? I will eventually be doing a C02 set up, sooner than later.
3) Lighting - I currently have a 48" Aqueon® colormax t5 aquarium light fixture Will this light be adequit enough for my 75? I really would like to go LED with moonlighting, so I was looking at THIS light as a replacement. Just want to be sure I will get the same results growth wise, for the plants. I eventually will be trying to carpet dwarf baby tears.
Thanks everyone!
