Just discovered your newsgroup, don't know if this subject's been covered
lately: Want to set up a 55 gal tank for cold water native species.
Interestted in brook trout, darters and chubs, and if I get really lucky one
day, a hell-bender. More importantly, interested in plants that will do well
in colder temps. I'm acquainted with Elodea and other floaters we have in
local cold water stream, but much more interested in bulbs and other rooted
broadleaf or grass-like plants.
.1. Need sources for cold water plants
2. Need to know if my environment will support my plans, (basement room temp
averages 50s in winter and 70s-occasional low 80s (F) in summer.
3. Are systems available for cooling water?
4. The native habitats I'm trying to duplicate have rapidly flowing waters,
will that be necessary for my plants to thrive, and if so, is there a filter
that will provide that kind of volume?
Any advice you can lend will be appreciated, as would an e-mail copy of your
