Hi all, I'm going to be setting up a 55gallon and was wondering how many watts i should use ....Amazon setup for chiclids with eco-complete plant substrate?Just so I know what to keep an eye out for...
CICHlids of what type? Many are diggers, so you may do better with some of the potted plants like anubias.
What types of plants do you want? That, along with whether or not you plan on having CO2 injection and adding fertilizers are determining factors of how many watts you need.
ahsupply.com 2x55 kits would be great. at 2wpg gives you the ability to grow many types of plants. adding co2 and ferts would help but wouldnt be a must.
