90 gallon planted tank
PF550 HOB @ 300gph
2 drop tubes for UGF runing on air stones....
3 large gourami's
1 4" Bala shark
5 2.5" Clown Loaches
2 3" Red Tail Sharks
Trio of Golden Killies
4 Algae eaters
1 small Zebra Loach
2 4" 3-line cats
1 Upside down Cat
2 3" Common Pleco's
4 10-12" Anbias
4 8-10" African Swords
5 6" red leafy ???
4x12" mat of moss from local forest [way cool]
2.5-3.5 deep sustrate gravel then stone.
Lighting.....oh boy..2 40watt 4' flouecent grow lights on a timer 14on 10 off.
PH <8.5
GH 12-15
The HOB pumps water into the tank with a lot of air bubbles with the return water. The airstone lift tubes bring a constant supply of tiny bubles to the surface. I have two buried air stones for visual effect.
Is it possible to over-do oxygen level without seeing pearing? Could my plants be suffering from an imbalance of C02/02?
And this final Q for the UGF guyz.....Would I be better off replacing the air driven system with power heads kept under the surface to minimise bubbles? And what GPH x2 power heads would you recommend if this goes that route?
Did I leave out my bathroom schedule?
TIA
