What else needed?
I just recently purchased a 75 G tank that I've set up as a freshwater
aquarium. I'm wanting to feature live plants in the tank (along with the fish). The tank came with a single flourescent bulb light hood. I ordered and just received another light hood--this one having two bulbs. This gives me 3 flourescent bulbs over the tank--each of them 40W bulbs. I've also hooked up a DIY Co2 system that seems to be running very well. I've read as much as I can find on getting this setup. There are a few things I'm unclear on and would like help. *I'm currently putting 120W of light into this tank. That's still not considered very high, is it? Is there any way to solve this? I can't fit another light hood on the tank. I'm not sure what type of bulb is in the light hoods currently. It is whatever is shipped with an "All-Glass Aquarium, Inc." light hood. *My biggest concern right now is substrate. I have a canister filter (Magnum 350). The base of my tank is exclusively river gravel. Is this going to be a problem? If so, what should I do? (I can't very easily change out the substrate in its entirety at this point.) Thanks for any helpful hints. Tony |
