New 55
I'm getting ready to set up another 55g tank. I will have a few angels
and cardinal tetras in it. My tap water is very soft ~2Gh and 3-4Kh. The
ph straight out of tap is around 6.6-6.9. Chloramine is not used by the
local water co., just chlorine. I will more than likely build my own
canopy and use 80-120 watts of light using 48" tubes. I may also attempt
to use the DIY CO2 again (didn't have good luck with it last time...)
Anyways, can anybody suggest a good substrate and variety of plants I
could use succesfuly in this set up? I can't afford to go all out on this
and am not too terribly concerned with outstanding plant growth. I do
want it all to grow and look good, however. I've heard various opinions
on peat moss, vermaculite etc. I will not be using a UGF. I've thought
about using peat, vermaculite, sand - but don't know if that would be a
good idea. Thanks in advance for all your input. btw, what would be a
good 2 or 3 bulb combination?
