I've begun acquiring the items needed for my first planned planted tank. Been reading through a number of threads that have rekindled my passion for a dutchstyle planted tank. Has nothing to do with the fact that I'm part Dutch but more that I enjoy plants and fish Now here's a list of the gear I have
48" Hagen dual T5HO bulb
36" Hagen dual T5HO bulb
Both have a power glo and life glo bulbs
Ehiem pro 2 canister filter (think it needs a seal. Luckily it's sitting on the basement floor beside the drain)
10lb co2 tank (the reg doesn't have a solenoid or bubble counter so that's on my Christmas list)
114lbs of black fluorite sand gravel mix (this had been purchased used from a gentleman who tore down his tank to move, had three kids and hasn't had time to set it up again. Was sad to see it go so I confident that there won't be any issues with it)
Now to diffuser I don't have one. I'm debating on the best way to diffuse. I'm thinking of inline on the canister. Any input would be appreciated. Is power heads needed in the tank? This tank will be in my fishroom which also is under going expansion and I'm installing a drip system in the tanks to change the water at 1-2gph. Could I include my plant tank in this or would this mess up the dosing. The current flora I have will be included on my next post as my battery's dying.
