Any suggestions on 30 gal (36X12X16) tank with a sand substrate that I am intending on planting and filling with cardinal tetra's, black neon tetras, Bolivian rams, and corys plus maybe a pleco or couple otto's.
I currently have 24 inch 20 watt single florescent.
I want to plant heavily with driftwood. I dig all those aquascape type plantings and hope to include Java Moss, Java ferns, etc. I have white sand but will include lots of groundcover type plants plus rocks and driftwood so that only 1/3 of the floor is exposed white sand
I know tetras want lower lighting and shade. Any suggestions on lighting setups and plants. I was thinking T5 dual 30 or 36 inch bulbs.
I would like to not have to do CO2, but would if I need to to get the lush growth I want.
Thanks,
Jimv
