10 gallon setup...

jujubee · Oct 30, 2004

Ok, so how does this sound for a 10 gallon tank:

28 watts of light
flourite substrate

Plants:

Anacharis and Watersprite in the back
Brazillian Pennywort, Green Temple, and Primrose in the middle ground.
Dwarf Hairgrass in the foreground.

Fish:
Betta, and either 4 panda cories, or the betta and some ottos

Does this sound like an ok setup? Any suggestions on any of this would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds good, do you plan on having a co2 system?

jujubee · Oct 30, 2004

i am not sure. Right now I am on a tight budget so it would have to be the DIY kind. Do you think with that setup I NEED co2?

Well, you certainly have enough wattage to get pearling on the plants. Why don't you try it?

I got a 1 way valve, 6 feed of airline tubing, and a 4" bubble wand for less than 10 bucks at petsmart for my DYI. Just sunk a metal valve peice through the top of the 2 liter cap and then used a connector to attach the hosing to it. After sealed, it works like a charm.

It just depends on how well you want your plants to grow, but I doubt that you need one.

maybe I will try a DIY co2. How exactly do I make it? Or where can I find instructions on how to make it? I want my plants to grow real well.

You can actually buy a c02 system, but it's cheaper if you make your own. There are a lot of articles on making a c02, umm... try searching in google.

what knid of fertilizers should i use? I have heard good things about flourish excel. Would this be adequate? Also, where can I get this?
