Have an established 46 Bowfront tank with the following:
5 long fin Danios
5 Albino Cory's
2 Lamp Eye Tetras
4 Kuhli Loaches 3" or so
25 Ghost Shrimp
Gravel and sand substrate (1/2 and 1/2)
Some fake and some real plants
Magnum 350
sponge filter for recirc system
300w Inline heater
Current Nova Extreme T5 X2 Fresh light, 2x39w, 1 10,000k, 1 6500k
Now for the questions:
Does this translate into a low light or medium light tank?
What types of plants will be good for the tank, and that pull nutrients from the water (not roots)
Can I/should I use a fertilizer? and would it upset the tank balance or affect the Ghost Shrimp?
Thanks for any help you provide, this planted thing gets complicated fast! But it's fun and interesting.
