Dear All!
tank size 48x24x24 inch,
Substrat: 32kg of fluval stratum, and 8 kg bio stratum
CO2 running
At the moment I do have 1x plant led 3.0 59w and 1x46 (transferred from my old aquarium)

I am interested if I can grow Rotala H'ra and rotala green (both are light/CO2/substrate intensive-moderate)
They should sit 18-20 inch bellow surface level or 22/23 inch bellow the Fluval 3.0 59w Fixture.

Also, any idea what plants I can add to aquarium is more than welcome!
At the moment:
Rotala green, h'ra
Elocharis parvula,
Blyxi Japonica
Lilaeopsis brasiliensis
Montecarlo
Hemianthus micranthemoides
Cryptocoryne spieralis red
Glandulosa

Looks like your using a fluval spray bar I done the same but later i changed all the pipes and fitted a glass lily pipe and inline co2 defuser i changed the pipes to eheim 16/22 pipes on youtube there are plenty of tutorials on how to change the pipes on fluval filters
 
Hi,
I will have a look, as I am not happy with fluval pipes and spray bar itself..
So Eheim 16/22 fits safly?
Thanks
 
Looks great. Watch those angelfish with those ember tetras though! You may find they disappear.
Thanks a lot for advice, so far, more than 3 weeks no issues...but will monitor...
But, those black angelfish killed one small corry that was spawned in this community tank..first time in my life I have witness spawned fish in community tank...and he was already like 1cm long..😞

At the moment I have issue only with little particles "dust like" and I am not sure what is it...
Could be from soil..tomorrow I am adding additional mechanical foams into fluval 407...
 
70 days later...
Still some issues with dust, GDA perhaps..🤷🏼‍♂️...
Added dennerle dosator for s7/v30 and E15 as fertilizing system
Today, i put UV system ..
Filter is external fluval 407...
Filter media:
Seachem matrix - bio
JBL micromec - bio
Eheim mach + bio cotton filter + jbl symec micro
Fluval phosphate pads
Fluval mechanical media (prefiltering)
Any idea of dusty water?
