Hello everyone,
After admiring your tanks for the past several years, I'm finally at a place where I can afford to get involved. This tank will be mostly flora with some fauna. Here is a list of the stuff I currently have.
Thanks!
After admiring your tanks for the past several years, I'm finally at a place where I can afford to get involved. This tank will be mostly flora with some fauna. Here is a list of the stuff I currently have.
- BETA Line 60, 74 liters (20 gallon), rimless, rectangular tank
- Tetra EX 600 plus canister filter
- Nicrew LED classic light
- Lily pipes - Are they worth buying from ADA et al. or are the eBay pipes just fine?
- Lily pipes - I have no idea what size lily pipe I need for my setup. I'm also looking to get a skimmer/inflow combo. What do you recommend? In general, I'm super confused by the measuring 16mm vs. 17mm, etc.
- Lighting - do you pay attention to the light spectrum offered by your LED's? If so, what is it you look for or what wavelength is most important for plants/fish? What do you think of the TWINSTAR LED C-Line?
- CO2 - I was planning on buying that DIY CO2 kit online and making my own CO2 using citric power, baking soda, and water. Do any of you have experience with this?
- CO2 - Which kind of diffusor do you recommend? I was just going to pick up one of the medium Twinstar diffusers since it's a decent brand and fairly cheap.
- Heater - Inline vs. the rods? I was thinking about using an inline heater just to make the tank even less cluttered. What has your experience been like?
Thanks!
