hey- first, please click on the my info button on the bottom of this messgae and it should give you what i have right now for my aquarium.
now the light is incandescent- i have 2 screw-in Coralife 10 W bulbs (http://www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsU...379051/cl0/coralifeminicompactcolormaxlamp10w) that I bought from Big Als thinking they were, as it looks from the link, being white color. they are not; instead, they are a pinkish tint to them. is this sort of lighting bad for my plants? if so, what sort of lighting is decent for my amazon and rangeri swords?
second, the sand substrate i have now i want to replace. what would be recommended? i am leaning towards fluorite, but i kinda wonder if its necessary since i add, via Planttabbs and some liquid supplements, many of the nutrients the plants already require.
third, i have no co2 injection going on whatsoever. i try to keep the water level high above the filter outlet so that surface agitation is minimal. whats do u guys recommend?
thanks for taking the time to answer on this lengthy post!
