Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hello,
I am really new to planted aquariums so sorry for the basicness of my questions.
My setup is a 90 gallon tank, ecocomplete substrate, fluvial 405 filter, 2 65w odyssa 12000k bulbs. 2 65w true actinic bulbs. I have 3 pearl Gouramis, 3 moonlight gouramis, 3 Cory cats, 2 honeypot gouramis, and 4 ruby red barbs.
I am looking to keep some basic plants( some swords, java ferns, mollyworts) nothing too fancy to start and am wondering if I Have the correct light. I can tell you that I have no problem growing algae with my current configuration.
If you recommend that I increase the light where should I begin?
How is the 1.5-2 watts per gallon calculated? Am I currently at roughly 2.75w per gallon or am I not figuring it out right? When will I Need to worry about adding co2 to the tank?
Thank you for your time.
