Aquarium Advice Regular
Hello i have recently moved and also recently purchased a rather large and rather square tank. It is 28" cubed, 360 litre, 70 uk gallons, 95 US gallons.
I am going to do quite an unusual planted tank with a large tree made from mopani wood in one corner with branches that have plants growing on them, back lit by a marina underwater LED. Around this will be an assortment of plants.
Equipment:
Filter: EITHER Fluval FX5 or something equivalent (help needed deciding)
Lighting: DUAL growbeam 500 LED's
Substrate: Eco Complete covered in sand (colour undecided)
Plants: Open to suggestion.
CO2: Yes
Stocking: From my current tank-4 Harlequin Rasbora, 4 Black Phantom tetra(School to be increased to 8-10), 5 Bosemani Rainbow, 2 Kuhli loach, 1 Bamboo Shrimp, 3 julii cory.
What I want in addition : Melanotaenia herbertaxelrodi x 5, Red Rainbow x 5, 3 Panda cory, Pair Kribs. Can also fit more and open to suggestion.
What i need help on at the moment is deciding the filter, either FX5, the Rena XP4 or something else. Your opinions on my lighting choice and my stocking.
I will be cleaning and adding bits like substrate and mopani wood hopefully this wk end. Access to fish and equipment is basically unlimited as i work in a LFS and do the stock ordering, therefore can get almost anything.
Help will be much appreciated!
Thanks!
