For this tank i will initially run co2. Once everything is large and grown in i might turn it off. The thing I dislike with co2 is that the sword plants get too large as well as the java fern (which is that front right corner mess in the picture I posted). But the anubias grow really well with co2. I hope to run this tank 20 to 30 years so over time things might change.

For fast water changes - i will have a hole in the back middle with a pipe that goes to a drain so i can quickly drain 50% of the tank so backflush feature isn't that helpful - of course with it i wouldn't need a hole in the middle back BUT i would need other holes for the filter.

Do you plan on running C02?
