Tank Top Question
This wasn't the PVAS auction was it? "joe" wrote in message ... I'm putting together a 75 gallon freshwater planted tank setup with an Oceanic tank. I bought the tank and custom cabinet at an auction, but there is no cover glass on the tank itself. I put in my own lighting setup in the tank cabinet, and was wondering what was the best thing to cover the water with. I have access to acrylic, or I can go buy standard hinged glass tops. Are there any concerns with light filtering if I use something besides glass? Also, how much space should I leave for air exchange from the water? I was thinking of leaving the back 1 inch uncovered, at least on one side, because I need to get my filter and heater lines in somewhere... Also, here is my setup so far...please let me know if you see any huge issues: 75 Gallon show tank 40 pounds of Schultz Aquatic Plant Soil (about 2.5 inches deep) 60 pounds of inert gravel on top (1/2 to 1 inch deep) Some sort of nutrient balls to be installed with plants Fluval 404 filter 300W titanium heater 240W of lighting in 4 foot tubes (2 grow-lites, 2 daylights, 2 full spectrum lights) CO2 compressed setup coming soon with home-built in-line reactor Thanks!
