HC Carpet!!

[jacpr233]

Hi guys, I'm trying to do an HC carpet and I haven't had luck with them. I have a 72 gal with Eco complete and pressurized co2. My lighting is a HO T5 6700k and a 10000k sun white. I'm going to buy the true lumen pro led but don't know how many strips I need to carpet the HC.

Also I'm debating on keeping the glass diffuser I have or to buy a reactor. I don't know if the reactor is better for a tank this big.

What ferts are you using. When you have high light and CO2 you really need to be dosing dry ferts via PPS-Pro dosing.

I'm dosing ADA bright k step 1.

I'm not at all familar with those except I'm pretty sure your dosing potassium and micros. So as long as your nitrates and phosphate levels are good then your okay on fertilizing.
