[quote:912e3ff1f7="limsteel"]Hello there! My sister got an empty 2.5ft Hexagon tank (20inch tall), as I want to help setup a planted tank with minimum $$$... So I am going to use the following:
Base fert: land base Potting soil (peat, etc mixed) - $5 + Land base fert ball (mainly Fe, N, P, etc...) $5
CO2: Seachem Flourish Excel 250ml - $12...
Gravel: Lapis 20Kg - $20
Light: 55Watts PL light
Filter: existing OHF with low flow pump (as C is from liquid source, so no CO2 to escape)
Fert: LG-Aqua & Micro
Plants: Moss, Cockscrew Val, Tenellus, B. Japonica
Planned Fish load: 6 Angel (cheapo type), 5-10 Corys (cheapo type), 10 over Otos.
Any comments?
Questions?
1. What you think about the land base Soil and fert balls that I will be using.
2. Is Liquid Carbon enough? I don't need the bubbling effect, just need to to gow nicely.[/quote:912e3ff1f7]
the tank is too big for liquid co2, why don't you try low maintenance tank with any co2 :P. how about just the plain simple DIY co2?
remember to mix the soil with lonestar, or else the soil might get too compacted for the roots of plants
