Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi. I am a n00b to these forums. I've had many aquariums in the past, the largest being a 55 gallon with a pair of tiger oscars. It has been about 15 years since I've had any tank at all though. My how things have changed. There's much I never knew before. There are so many new toys and things to buy!!
I decided with a new office rearrangement (I work from home) to jump in both feet with a new planted tank with some variety of fish. I'm really liking the discus I've seen. I bought a 75 gallon because I tend to do things in a big way even when I don't know what I'm doing. I have a EHIM canister filter, and now to my concern - I also bought a dual 65W CP light from Current USA. I didn't realize, from what I'm reading anyway, that the rating of these lights is actually much higher? I was shooting for a 1.5-2W / gallon rating but is this too much light? Or is it okay? Do I need a CO2 system or can I go with what have right now?
OB picture.
