Ok so I'm moving this week into a new apt, and then setting up my 18 gallon high tank as a heavily planted set up. So first I'll list the equipment then I'll list the stock I want.


Tank - 18 Gallon High 20"wx18"hx12"d
Filtration - Whisper 40 power filter w/ polyester fiber only
Heating - 200w Marineland Stealth Heater
Lighting - 2x Coralife F/W T-5 Aqualight Double Strip Light-24"
CO2 injection system

Substrate - Natural Ocean Sand - dried for 1 month, then soaked in boiling water for 12 hours, then re-dried
1 - Large Piece of Natural Drift Wood

Fish Stock below
Pair - German Blue Rams (m/f)
Pair - Black Mollies (f/f)
12 - Neon Tetras
5 - Albino Cory Cats
5 Otocinclus Algae Eaters


Plant Stocking below
Willow Moss - attached to driftwood
Hair Grass along the front glass
1 - Amazon Sword in the center rear behind driftwood
1 - Cabomba Plant each side of driftwood
Corkscrew Val along the entire back and sides of the tank
Crystalwart along the bottom with areas of hair grass
and some floating crystalwart at the top to provide shade and hiding areas.


Please let me know if this should suffice, or if you have any good suggestions on stocking, or equipment.

Thanks
