As some of you may know, I'll be converting my tank over from high light to low light. Instead of clogging up my tank thread with planning for the new scape, I'd rather have another thread to not distract from my tank's current state. My tank will be focused around Cryptocoryne (some unusual and rare kinds!), Anubias, driftwood, and the corner Java Fern piece. Here's what I've come up with:
Lighting: 1 Finnex Planted+ 24/7 (will be dimmed)
Other Equipment Changes: I will be swapping out my powerhead for the Eheim Skim350. Overall flow will be reduced, but 180-200 GPH of flow should be fine since lighting won't be intense; the flow will be a solid medium. My slower swimming fish will appreciate this (Honey Gourami). CO2 may be reduced a tinge depending on when I hit a balance with the tank.
Plants (a * indicates this plant will definitely be in the scape):
Foreground: DHG*, Marsilea minuta*, S. repens*
Midground: Red Tiger Lotus, Anubias nana*, Anubias nana 'petite'*, Anubias nana gold*, Anubias barteri, Anubias 'round leaf'*, Anubias coffeefolia*, Lobelia cardinalis, Crypt sp. 'Flamingo', Crypt wendtii 'bronze'*, Crypt wendtii 'Mi Oya'*, Crypt wendtii 'Green Gecko'*, Crypt nurii*, Crypt Metallic Affinis Red*, Crypt pontederiifolia, Crypt cordata 'Rosanervig', Driftwood* IF YOU KNOW OF ANY COOL-LOOKING CRYPTS AND ANUBIAS THAT I DIDN'T LIST, TELL ME ?
Background: Cyperus helferi*, Driftwood with Java Fern and Christmas Moss* (I may put a different Java Fern on this driftwood)*, Crinum calamistratum*, I need more ideas...
