hi :3 i just bought a 150 gallon tank off someone the other day. just got done with its 100% fill and 24 hour w8 to see if any leaks showed none seemed to have poped up yay!
but anywho i wanted to start a planted tank with this tank but seem to have come to a hault i did some research last night and today and found lots of things out for 35-55 gallon tank sizes and not much info on my super big 150 gallon tank. first off i plan to get a rena filstar xp3 canister fliter. would this work with a tank my size or should i try something else. also confused on the lighting i would need the tank is 48''x24''x32'' i also plan on at some point makeing my own wet/dry fiter system. i have been looking at co2 DIY things as well but dont no how well it will work with a tank my size. i plan on useing eco- complete along with a small layer of sand on top of that with a light coverin of my eco complete to give it some color and better hold for the plant roots also are there certain plants that only need to be placed and left alone or need to uproot and clip or work on them asking because seeing as im shortish and the tank is very deep it would be hard for me to mess with things to much xD but yes any help would be much appreciated
