I am not new to aquarium keeping, but am very new, as in never... tried to keep any live plants. I recently got a 240G that is 8' long and 2'x2' wide/tall. I would like to keep this setup fairly simple as in no CO2. The above link is the lighting I am thinking about getting. I intend to run either a double or quad setup. Which means I will have either 4 bulbs total or 8 bulbs toltal since each fixture holds two. These bulbs are 40W each and are rated at 6500K for sunshine.
Next, for filtering I have 2 overflows that are 3/4", 1 FX5, and one 600gph circulation pump. So I have about 2000GPH of flow going on inside the tank. I plan to have the retuns underwater for everything so I have less surface aggitation.
Will this work????? I am clueless when it comes to plants, but for such a large tank I thought it may be cool to try.
