I started a thread a few months ago when I first started tank hunting. I had my ok with a 60g, then a 75g, then a 90g and I finally wound up with a 4' 120g. Here is breakdown of the setup.
4x2x2 Glass AGA tank
Black Marineland stand
4' 108w dual T5 (6700k and 10000k)
I have PFS substrate
Tank will be filtered by a FX5 and already has an XP1 powering a 36w UV.
For fish I currently have a mixture of Geo species, a flagtail, some fancy plecos, a baby fire eel and black neon tetras. I plan on cutting the geos down to a group of 5+/- and adding a large shoal of clown loaches.
I'm planning on adding CO2 eventually and changing the lighting accordingly. For right now I'm wanting light to medium plant coverage. I started off with 2 chunks of driftwood with anubias planted in them. I added them yesterday. For now I'm wanting to add a few bigger sword plants and some jungle val. Is there any issues with what I'm planning? If the flagtail starts to much on the plants I can move him, he is fine so far. Only issue I see is the PFS. I almost went with a plant substrate but I just love the look of PFS, Especially with the geos. Basically I'm wondering what the limits of planting with PFS are I guess...
Thank,
Josh
