Greetings!! I am looking for some advice with a 180g tank. I am wanting to have a community tank with plants. I am not wanting to go crazy with plants, but do want a nice display of plant life without utilizing CO2 and heavy lighting.
I have a couple questions:
1) Filtration: I was thinking of using two Eheim 2128 cannister filters. Does this sound like adequate filtration?
2) Substrate: Should I use plain river gravel, or go for a fluorite type substrate? Also, how deep of a substrate is recommended.
3) Lighting: I want enough light to keep my plants alive and healthy, but not too much where I have to add CO2 or fans to keep the tank cool in the summertime.
I'm sure I will have more questions later. Thanks for any replies!!
