Hello,

I am starting a new planted tank and I have a few questions.

1. I have a Eheim 2213 and 2217 for filtration. What is the best way to setup the intakes and outputs?
2. For lighting I have 3 100W CFL daylight 5000K bullbs. Would that be enough to grow aquarium plants?
3. If I plant the plants in the tank before adding water, can I fill the tank with the garden hose or would that kill the plants? I just don't want to have to bucket all the water in.

And finally, any good stocking ideas? I am not sure what I want to put in the tank yet.

And here is the tank as it is now.

Nice light rack.
I know someone who uses the same light setup, expect it just has it sitting on the glass top -- haha
