hello everyone
after getting my teeth in to the whole aquascaping game ive now decided to go bigger
now i intended to keep a small tank due to the fact of not wanting a lot of hassle without experiance but i just cant seem to get the stupid tall aquaone tank right how i would like it
now i do have a 5'x2'x2' which i was going to use and then thought about a malawi tank but decided last night to sell it to a friend who has been wanting it forever for his oscars so £200 later away it went
today i ordered a custom tank for a unit i have at home and this will be my final resting place lol i intend on now buying all the correct equipment and using this tank for my scape and having it exactly how i would like, the dimesions of the tank are 900mm long x 500mm high x 550mm deep front to back
it is exactly what i wanted something not too long that would take up a lot of space and need masses of equipment but something that had good depth to it so there was lots of room for hardscape and planting
so this is what i would like to know and i really could do with help here
i would like the tank to be set up with a kind of jungle style what i always liked kind of like this 1 done by london dragon
as i really love the look of it and the plants used
my problem is i want to use aqua soil thats 100% but i dont know which 1 would be best and want the right 1 from the start so that i dont have the hassle of having to change things again
i also have no idea how you manage to get the side piled up how it is in the tank above but it looks really good so would like info and help on what to use for that
also what is the wood in this scape and were can i get some and some pretty easy growing jungle style plants and a nice carpeting plant for it
i have ordered tropica plant nutrition plus , easycarbo and would like to know if i need anything else
and while im here im after a filter which will do the job perfectly as it wont have a filter at all and heater i have a 300watt 1 will that be sufficient ??
lastly i plan on running 3 day lights on there and a blue moon bulb for night time
what would be the best 3 bulbs i could use and what name wattage would be best ??
lastly i want to use a co2 fire extinguisher for co2 what would i need besides the extinguisher and air line , diffuser as i have no idea so if anyone can advise on whats needed and links to were i can buy exactly what i need inc the extinguisher
thanks for any help as i really do need it
