Hey guys, this is my first post so here we go. I bought a 55 Gal, about a month and a half ago off craigslist pretty cheap ( I was able to get the whole thing up and running for about $250, and that includes the tank and stand). After much thinking and research I decided to do a dirted tank, and I have Dustin to thank for it. I plan on doing some easier plants, I already have 1 anabias nana, 3 Java fern, 4-5 Mondo Grass, and 2 Amazon swords. I plan on getting some Anacharis, dwarf Sag, Hygrophila, Ludwigia, Micro sword, Hornwort, And maybe some Dwarf baby tears. As far as fish go I have 3 Tiger barbs, 3 Albino tigers, 2 Green Tigers, and 1 BN Pleco. I would like to get some Harlequin Rasboras, Cardinal Tetras, some Corys cats, and a pair of Bolivian Rams as the center piece.
Some concerns I have are 1 my Mondo Grass, I have read that it is not a aqueduct plant and I also read were it is. So if anyone can help me there that would be great. My second concern is my lighting; I will have 2 T8 Floramax lights on my tank, is this enough?
I should mention that I’m moving on Saturday, and that’s when the dirt is going in. So I’m not taking any water samples or rather taken water samples in about two weeks. The reason is, I was told to not do any water changes because of my move. The fish are fine, it helps I have a sump that came off a 175 gal, as my filter system.
So if any of you have any helpful hints, tips, I would gladly like to see them
Also i have posted a video on my Youtube channle, check it out and let me know what you think, http://youtu.be/xPMXZX1VrMs
