My new 125 gallon tank ! Pics !!!!!

[McLumpy]

i have like a t12 fixture i think and my plants are doing good

That's why I didn't give the OP advice. I know fish, and learning quickly about plants, but I don't know much about lights. lol

Is that bad....

well kind of you dont even have a wpg but moss will grow and java fern and aponogetons and probably anubius too. just very slowly.

so two of the t5 10,000 is better choice????

Each light pushes 8,000 k... Is that alright for java and flame moss

For java yes, I'm not sure about flame.

LIke i said everyday there will be stuff to post until tank is up and running.. Less then 2 and half weeks before I got everything !

black i hated when my tank had blue, and it was paint so i immediatly took it off and replaced.

 

[dpfitness23]

So what you think... It measures 74" long 24" width

 

[dpfitness23]

Yeah I was thinking black

I think we all agreed black fine gravel... I would like black sand but I think it woould be a hasle to clean in a 125... What u guys think?

IMO, gravel is harder to clean lol stuff gets stuck easier. If you go with black sand, I'd go with the blue background to keep stuff from looking too dark, but that's just my opinion.

Just now getting up ....... But isnt sand a pain to clean... I had white sand in my 75 and it was a pain because my eels keep pooping underneath the sand... So i couldnt see the poop until my ammonia spiked.. So i changed it to black gravel. And then bought a auto gravel cleaner
