So let me start off with telling you about the tank... This summer I got the tank from an older couple who decided to move to Arizona, and didn't want to keep their tanks so they were giving away a 65 gallon full setup and a 30 gallon full setup. Of course I tried to get both setups, but they had already promisedthe 65 gallon setup to someone else, so I took the 30 gallon tank. It came with matching wooden stand and canopy, submersible heater, and 2 of those Whisper internal filters, and a stock 36" T8 light.
So I got a glass canopy top for the tank, bought a SunSun 302b Canister Filter, and earlier this month ordered a 36" T5HO dual bulb light fixture.
Tank - 30 gallon long 36"x12"x16"
Lighting - 36" T5HO 2x39w (6500k bulb, ultra growth wave bulb)
Heating - 100w Ehem Jager submersible
Substrate - 2" Mineralized Topsoil capped by 1" Fluorite
Co2 - DIY Co2 system for now
Fertilizing - EI dosing regime + Osmocote Plus root tabs
This will be a slow progression over the next few months...
