Is that Red Sea Co2 Reactor (200)? I mean, is it the 200? lol... Just want to make sure. Looking for a better diffuser than the ladder...came with Nutrafin CO2 Natural Plant System.
WOW beautiful tank! I have a question tho. i just bought an 46 gallon bowfront aquarium and was wondering about the light you are using. Are u using the lighting system that came with the aquarium or did you buy another one? I'm trying to do a planted tank also but I read from many places that you need at least 3 watts per gallon. But some bulbs dont come in such high wattages instead they have different intensities. Should I be looking at wattages or the intensity/different spectrums.Thank You
@Infinity1519 You need additional light. I used a double compact flourescent strip light from Coralife. I also used a small strip light on the fron of the tank. The kind with the small diameter flourescent light. I cant remember the exact wats per gallon but I think it was over 3 watts per gallon. I unfortunately had to move and give away the aquarium, so I don't have it anymore.
I adore your tank, it is absolutely beautiful! I am getting a 46 bowfront this next friday and hope to make my tank as wonderful as yours! Absolutely fantastic!
i have two questions about the co2 system. i have the same red sea co2 reactor and mine is very loud. is that normal. Right now i just started it for the first time and its been one day since i added the powder stuff. How long did yours start to bubble?
riccia fluitans I got it on ebay from a seller based in texas. It is actually a floating plant but wrapped a hairnet around a stone and put a clump in. It grows well with CO2.
substrate is a mix of seachem fluorite red and ecco complete planted aquarium substrate. The ecco complete is the best. It is small grain easy to place plants, comes pre-washed in some supposedly good water (small amount mixed in the bag. just put in the tank and fill. No water cloud issues.
thanx alot man i think i found a website that i want to order from. I'll have to show it to you when i get it in. please check out my videos and let me now if you have any ideas about what else I should put in my tank. thanx again
Your aquarium is amazing. I wish mine could look that nice, hopefully one day it will. Do you think you could ever get those results with plain gravel? Unfortunately that's what I'm using, but I want to go with the eco complete. Does the eco-complete ever need to be replenished?
nice tank. I'm in the process of turning my two tanks into plant tanks. still working on getting plants my silver dollars won't eat. so far, Java Fern and onion plants work. they do like hornwort, which I heard they didn't.
once I get the substrate for my nano, I'm planning on getting glosso also. 6 watts per gallon (150 watt, plant bulbs in the metal halide) still waiting on the bulbs.
