- I currently have 2 tanks set up. A 65 Gal and a Fluval Flora tank. The 65 Gal I just redid on June 20th.
Old set up: Ecocomplete substrate. 3 AquaticLife 36" t5 HO fixtures (234Watts). Mixture of 6500K and Rosette bulbs. Aquariumplants.com's digital bubblecounter/solenoid regulator with 5kg cylinder. That is hooked up to a aquamedic 1000 that is within my return for an Eheim Pro 2075. The CO2 is set up on a pH meter for 7.2 pH. I have 3 small powerhead to supply current behind the tall plants for adequate circulation. Do 1/3 water change weekly. Lights are on a 10h cycle. Add potassium every other day. Flourish after water changes.
New set-up: Same but redid the plants and all ADA substrate with powersand on the bottom. Amazonian and Malayan mix on the top.
I will post pics of both once I figure out how.
As for fish. I have lots of yellow cherry shrimp. Algae eating shrimp. Oto Cats, some nice looking male guppies, cardinals, pygmy corys, and a few yell
