Aquarium Advice Freak
Ok, the last time I tried to do a planted tank, i gave up becasue algae of an unknown source suffocated my plants. Now, im going to try agian.
24 gallon tank
Lighting. I have a T5 coralife thing with 2 14 w bulbs. Since its t5 and there is a highly polished reflector, i think this get up near 2 wpg....But im not sure.
Fertilizer: Since its under 2 WPG im pretty sure i dont co2, correct? Of course, thats what I thought last time, then my tank got overun by brown algae....So, i shouldnt have any co2 related algae problems, right?
Other fertilzer....Most likely flourish, and that line. I really dont want to get into dry fertz just yet.
Plants: THese are just off of plant geeks, so tell me if they need higher light, require c02, or are difficult to find or keep.
Foreground:
Anubias Nana
Compact sword/chain sword?
Cypticoryne Wendittii
Middle:
Coffee Anubias
Amazon sword? ( ive heard differing opinions on the light levels for these, so i dont know.)
Cyptocoryne Bekettii
Background:
Wisteria
Jungle Val
Corkscrew val
Mabye some reddish ludwiga?
Also, i only have plain gravel substrate. Will this be ok if i use some of the substrate fertilizer tablet things....I think i still have some....
Thanks a ton
