    Hi All

    Planning to start my planted tank
    I made up a list of things to buy, plse give some advise...anyone.
    Intend to buy a Juwel 1 metre tank, their tanks are very well made.
    A Eheim 2224
    A surface skimmer, taiwan brand
    Ocean free fertilizer and lonestar gravel
    CO2 system
    I intend to grow mostly Ecindorus species for easy maintenance.

    Oh another question about injecting the CO2 into the water.
    Should i use a atomizer like the ADA type or those that are attached to the outlet of the filter(don't know what you call these) that goes round and round in this plastic housing.

    Thanks

    The Juwel tanks' hood may not be able to accomodate enough lights for a planted tank.

    u r referring to a reactor, depend on yr preference.. though reactor has higher dissolve rate, the result isnt that visible compared to a diffuser

    LiquidFX and Simon

    Thank you for the input

    I know the Juwel tank hood does need more lights for a plant tank. I intend to get a MH or those three feet taiwan light hood to sit on top the the tank and do away with the hood.

    I read in the equipment forum about this 3 in 1 JAQNO to inject CO2 into the tank, may I know what is this brand and where can I get it.

    My Jebo tank comes with a hood too. But I modified it to hold PL tubes. You can still use the hood if you want but heating would be a problem.

    Oh...I didn't know you have many hoods...

    The Jebu brand that you've have modified to fit in PL tubes.

    Thx
