TANK SET UP FOR MICR DATS?????????

[BONDO]

IM GOING TO BE GETTING 2 MICRO DATS NEXT WEEK,AND IM JUST CUROIUS TO HEAR FROM YOUR EXPERIANCES WHAT WORKED BEST. ANYTHING LIKE FILTRATION, SUBSTRATE, WATER CONDITIONS, LIGHTING. I'VE GOT A 125GAL THATS BEEN UP AND RUNNING FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS, ITS GOT ABOUT A 2" LAYER OF FINE GRAVEL MIXED WITH SOME FLOURITE. IM RUNNING TWO 300 WATT HEATERS AND KEEPING THE TANK AT A STEADY 76 DEG F. I HAVE A RO UNIT SO IM DOING ABOUT A 60/40 MIX OF TAP AND RO. I ALSO HAVE A PH CONTROLER THAT KEEPS THE PH AT 7.5. AND OF COURSE CO2 FOR THE PLANTS, JUNGLE VAL, CRYPT, ANUBIUS. FOR FILTRATION IM RUNNING 2 AQUACLEAR 110'S ( I MAY BE WRONG ON THE MODEL ITS THE LARGEST ONE AQUACLEAR PUTS OUT) AND A FLUVAL 405 CANISTER FILTER. AND FOR ADDED CIRCULATION I HAVE TWO POWER HEADS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE TANK.

SO ANY FEED BACK WOULD BE APPRECIATED

Water conditions are fine, Dats aren't very fussy. Dimmer lighting would be preferred. Plenty of hiding spaces.

IS IT TRUE THAT DATS LIKE A SLIGHT SALINITY OR IS THE JUST A BUNCH A CR@P?

The only dat that will require full brackish is the AT (silver). You can keep all others in fresh with no problems but I always add a little salt anyway. They seem to be more active when I do.
