I am not new to the hobby. I have had fish tanks all my life in one form or another. I have a 180 gallon reef ready tank that I want to set up as a Discus tank. And I already have a Fluval FX5 canister filter. So i at a desicion that I need help with. Do I take out the overflows and use the canister filter and plug the holes in the bottom of the tank or use the overflows and buy a new sump style filter with the bio-wheels and put it under the tank in the stand?
I am also planning on making this a heavily planted tank. And was wandering if the substrate from aquarium plants.com is worth paying for. Its the freshwater plant substrate. Do i need to do CO2 injection?
Then what type of lighting and how much is needed for a 180g tank.
I really appreciate evryones help here. Yes I am a newby to this forum but if someone can chime in it would help alot. I do not want to relly on some young kid in a LFS to make the decisions for me.
