I have a 27 gallon cube (20 x 18 x 20 deep) which is a reef tank now but I'm going to turn it into a planted tank. It will be basically an Amazonian biotope with Serpae tetras and another tetra shoal to be determined.
It currently has:
Kessil 360WE w/ Spectral controller
(2)Vortech MP10
Heater
ATO
HOB refugium
I believe I can keep the light (?), heater, and ATO. No need for the Vortechs.
So questions:
The Kessil will work for a planted tank?
I'll keep the refugium to keep the heater, CO2 diffuser and bubble counter, ATO, etc. out of the display tank. Any benefit to planting it and running it on a reverse light cycle from the display tank or should I just fill it full of Bioballs or the like?
Suggestions for a reasonably priced CO2 system?
Starting to build a new stand today. It will be Stickley style with a drawer and door on the front side and another door or removable panel on the left side. Drawer front will actually be on hinges and open up to display Spectral light control, autofill control and a DJ outlet strip. Bottom will be for ATO reservoir (5 gallon bucket) and CO2 tank.
Any other general suggestions?
