hey,
i was considering setting up a moderate-heavily planted tank in a 6x2x2 in my room.
i have been on the outskirts of the cichlid zone looking into the quiet world of planted tanks for some time now and i was wondering what equipment id need to make it look spectacular and the approximate cost.
i dont want any shonky gear or faulty co2 systems cause that @#%$ can kill (literally). just hit me with the big figures and a list of what ill need. also are there any alternatives to metal halide or should i just hit it with the best and add like 4 extractor fans to the ceiling .
are there any good sites where i can find the recipe for PMDD and is it dangerous to have a co2 gas bottle in your bedroom.
Thanx
Elliot
