Here are the plants I have:
Indian Red Sword
Amazon Sword
Water Wisteria
Java Fern
Anubias (not sure which type)
Here's my DIY co2 setup:
2L bottle mixture of 1tsp yeast & 2cups sugar.
17oz overflow bottle zip-tied to 2L
Check-valved hose running into tank with fine air stone hanging just below the filter intake.
I just finished setting this up about an hour ago.
Here's the current lighting setup:
24" Aqueon Floramax 17W bulb in hood.
2-15W bulbs set up externally about 8" away from side of tank where plants are.
This setup is only temporary until I can afford a better fixture.
I froze about 10 Osmocote granules and placed them under the substrate where the plants are. Substrate is natural and black gravel. I also added Nutrafin Plant Gro.
OKay, questions are, how is this lighting setup for now. Too much? Not enough? I have no idea.
And, how is my co2 setup? I followed instructions from a diagram I found online. What are signs of fish distress from co2?
Thanks in advance!
