Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi Everyone. I have been keeping fish for a long time, but I am just getting starting on keeping a planted tank. I need some advice and tips and tricks that may be specialized towards my setup.
Here is what i have:
75G Tank (48" x 18" x 21")
Rena Filstar XP3 Cannister
T5HO 2-54w lighting about 6 inches above the tank; one 10,000K bulb, and one Actinic bulb
Heater (don't remember wattage)
Mix of Flourite Dark / Regular Flourite Substrate
Livestock:
5 Neon Tetras
6 Red Eye Tetras
1 Gold Gourami - Male
1 Otto (adding 4-5 more very soon)
1 Apple Snail
Plants (just received yesterday from liveaquaria.com)
Anacharis
Watersprite
Cambomba
Crypts
Dwarf Hairgrass
Anubias
Java Fern
Would you consider my setup to be High lighting? should I worry about CO2? Adding Fertilizers? I love the look of the plants, but I want to make sure they all survive. I would be devastated if they all died. What would you do if you had my setup?
