Hi,
Just gotten a 2ft tank 60x36x36 comes out to 21gallons or 80 litres
what kind the flow rate should I be looking at? I am considering eheim 2234.
what kind of CO2 rate? 2 bubble per sec?
I have 8kg GEX soil, is that enough to cover? Or need to get 2kg more?
what kind of wpg should I be looking at too cos dont wish to keep changing due to a change in plants? 55w PL enough? or 36x2? i like moss but wife love HC......
Keeping shrimps only. Maybe some boraras
Please advice.
Thanks.

eheim 2234 should be enough for 21 gallon tank. Rule of thub is about 4 times your water volume. CO2 is difficult to say, because it is depend how effective is your reactor/diffusior, it would be best if you have drop checker. Soils wise is depend on your scape, taller plant need thicker soils. Light 55W is enough for most plat, but if you want to grow nice lawn of HC you might want to get higher light.
Hi,
when you say 4 times, is it the volume or the flow rate?
flow rate = 4xtank volume or maybe 5, can't really remember
Eheim 2215 Classic Series....

Hi larlee, I'm using a similar Gex 2ft round corner tank.
Maybe you can refer to my earlier post at Aquascaping section. I'm using Gex Soil 8kg, Hydor Prime 20 Canister filter and 36W PL light with no CO2.
Good luck and have fun!
