55gal tempered glass aquarium
200watt heater
biowheel filter
128watts light from t-8 bulbs
3'-3.5" Turface
eggcrate inset at top of aquarium to support lights
Some direction please. Wanted to something in the Amano style. Would this be enough light for ground covering plants like glasso or baby tears? If not any suggestions for a substitute for the set up I have? Wanting to make a bushier corner as well. Plan on using hornwort I know. Any other suggestions for this area using the lights I have? Buddy suggested a layer of laterite, but heard it was kinda pricey and I have all but exhausted my fish funds. Some one else suggested a thin layer of peat but there is a risk of ph spikes I believe. How about plant tabs? Liquid ferts? Would love to have a fool proof set of directions for a tried and true set up. I have a years worth of reef experience so I can handle the responsability. Looking for a set up that requires every other day or once a week attention and not daily. Any help appreciated. My tank thus far:
