Well, I have pretty much everything I need now and the tank has been running for almost a week now. It has been lightly planted for a couple days now, so I've been dosing a little bit of No3 and Po4 although it doesn't have the Co2 hooked up yet, so I've just been running the 2x54w light for ~8 hrs and all of them come on for about 2 hrs in the afternoon. I'll change this a little as soon as Co2 is working.
Good news. The Rhinox 5000 came today and looks great. It's also thicker and of stronger glass quality than I expected. I think this will work out nicely.
**Filtration too low with just one Eheim 2026 running on a 90g? Yeah, I know. I just ordered a Rena Filstar XP3 last night, so that should arrive sometime next week. In the meantime, I'm going to borrow the dinky AC powerhead from my 20g. It's not much, but it's better than nothing. The 2026 and XP3 should provide enough flow, but just in case, I also ordered a Rio 600 powerhead. Cheap but probably works good enough. Here's a picture of my 20H as it is now, before the massacre. I will be taking most plants out of here to get the 90g started. After the fish move over, this tank is coming down. It's old and scratched, plus I have a brand new 25g in the garage(same footprint). Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. Shrimp breeding tank for the large tank? Pay no attention to the gsa.
