Wow Lee1224, this is some plan you sum up. I'll put my input wherever I can.
1) If budget is ok for you, get it. However, Green Chapter has brought in a base fert that is very concentrated and it goes by the brand Ferka. It is powdery texture so it would not increase the height of your substrate but you'll need to be careful not to leech the base fert into the water column when you're uprooting the plants. Same with other brand of base fert too.
2) Looks ok to me.
3) Can't help you there. Never tried Seachem on the long run.
4) Same as above. Had only used pressurised co2.
5) The blower fan is kinda similar to a pc fan but air only exit at the side of the fan. The part that you've seen can be fabricated with those wire trunking thingy so you'll need to diy. Attached that to the blower fan.
6) You could try 1st and see the result. I'm not sure the Eden 501 will have adequare water flow coming into the tank. If the water flow is weak, you'll might need 2 Eden 501. Just a thought.
7) This depend on your aquascape. Do you want to see the rainbar in that tank?
Someone else should pitch in with this one.
9) Same as above. I'm not really good in aquascaping.
9) Have you thought about trying with fissiden? X'mas moss is ok too. ( Hey, did you know that there are 2 nbr 9 question? )
10) Cover it? Either HC or glosso oe even Japanese hairgrass. Depends on your aquascape. Bare is also ok.
11) Good luck and hope you'll achieve what you aim for!
Hope this helps!
