Hello all,
I am finally setting up my tank tomorrow (gravel, decorations, water), ect.. :drool: The only thing I have not purchased yet are the light bulbs. It is set up for 4 VHO bulbs in the canopy each 4 foot long. I can buy the lights locally so I plan on picking them up tomorrow as well. The fish tank is a 150G 5' x 2' x 2'.
I would like to buy some easy care plants after the cycle has been completed (it seems like I remember reading to wait until the cylce is complete before adding plants?), and I would like to know what combination of VHO types you all recommend (i'm guessing they are around 120 - 140 watts each)? I don't plan on having co2 hooked up to the tank and like I said, I would just like to go with easy care plants at least for awhile to help with nitrate and to make the fish feel a bit more comfortable. If I really like the whole plant thing and I get into it then I will add co2 at a later time.
Thanks for all that chime in.
