It's me again!
I'll make this as short as possible so no one burns their eyes out reading my walls of text. Finally closing in on getting this thing together!
To get medium light on the bottom of a tank that is 19 to 24" deep (25-30" after accounting for substrate height + hanging distance), would a 70w or 150w MH pendant be more appropriate? (I"m not entirely opposed to T5HO here, but the fixture would have to be 5 or 6 feet)
I'm going to experiment with different levels of lighting in different spots in the same tank (a 5 to 6 footer). In a such a tank, do you think pressurized co2 would be necessary, recommended, or optional? The substrate is a mix of eco/fluorite/fluorite sand (long, annoying story) and I plan on giving Rootmedic a go for my ferts initially.
Thanks!
