Hi all, I'm getting a new 55 that I want to set up as an ultra low tech planted tank, I already have 96w of light to use. What I'm planning is having it heavily planted with nothing but lights and ferts every so often. I will be doing water changes as needed. So far I'm thinking bichir, African spotted leaf fish, betta or blue gourami and any others that can go with just taking the oxygen from the plants? I may run a small pump at night, if I notice that that the plants are putting out too much CO2. As for substrate I was thinking Eco Complete with play sand on top, since none of the fish are diggers. I do like the idea of lava rock though. Thanks for any advice. @Mods I did post this in different forums because I wanted to get the widest number of options & I didn't know which would be best.
