Okay guys, new tank - 5x2x2 approx 140 gallons.
I want to do a planted tank, and I want my plants to be happy and healthy.
At the moment I have a double flourescent tube, 2x40W (came with the tank package) how much more lighting am I gonna need, and what kind would be best to purchase? I think MH is out because I have a fairly low hood. PC, VHO just lots of flouros? What do you guys think?
I am also looking at the possibility of setting up CO2 injection, but I know little about it so any help there would be great!
I figure I may aswell get more than enough lighting to start with rather than waste the money replacing plants that die from lack of light... as has happened in previous tanks of mine.
So please, ANY advice would be awesome. Thanks heaps in advance,
Adam
