Hello all.
This is my first post here so let me give you a little info about myself. I have been an aquarium lover for a lot of years, I have only done fresh water, I have mostly done community tanks, I have only just recently don a planted tank, a 60 gal and it’s doing great thanks to all the information I have learned from here.
I got a killer deal on a 125 with stand and filters and want to make a really nice set up, but I am on a budget too. I am just about ready to add water to the tank, I just need to make the canopy and put the light’s in it, I should have that done in a week or two.
I am going to have Discus, Rummy Nose Tetras and Galaxy Rasbora.
I am using CaribSea ECO complete black sand mixed with some small black aquarium gravel for my substrate.
I am going to do ODNO driven at 4X on two T8 bulbs and two T12 grow bulbs, all will be 48 inch and they will be staggered inside a custom built hood/canopy 8 inches tall. Total distance to the bottom of the tank will be right at 26 inches, so if I have done my research correctly I will have 304 Watts @ 26” depth I will only be able to support Low to Moderate light plants.
I will have a CO2 system
The three wood pieces will be in the positions shown in the picture.
I am asking all of you for your inputs as to which plants to use and where in the tank to put them. I have been reading a lot and have some ideas, but would like some of yours also.
Thanks in advance for you time and inputs, all will be considered and I will post pictures as I progress.
Cheers :thumbsup:
Bob.
