[Q]:MH Lighting, Co2 [FS] New Dupla 300 Cable {FT]SAE's
Long time "Lurker" First time posting. I have maintained four simple
non-tech planted aquarium's for twelve years with some measure of
success. But I have decided to go over to the
"dark side" and setup a high-tech plant tank. This will be a 65 gallon
aquarium 36x24x24. I will be purchasing a Sandpoint substrate heating
system. I Plan on using an Emperor 400
Bio- Wheel Filter with only floss inserts and an Aquaclear 201 powerhead
for additional water movement. I will use Seachem Flourite mixed with #
2-3 gravel to a depth of 2 1/2 inches and Tropica Fertilizer. Any
comments are welcome. Now to the Questions:
For Co2 injection this is the system I think is right for me
http://www.wcf.com/co2iron/ I will purchase a 5lb tank locally. I would
like someday to upgrade this system to an automated system. Is this easily
done with this system? What would I need besides a controller. What
exactly is the difference between a high and a low pressure system. What
do most people use?
I would like to use the MH pendant lamps because I like the "open
aquarium" Coralife's 175 MH Pendant seems to be the
standard. However the pendants with the bulb horizontally mounted seam
intriguing. I believe Hamilton and Giesemann luminaries make a MH of this
design. Would one Pendant of either type provide enough spread for a 36"
aquarium? What wattage would be appropriate? Color temperature of the
Bulb 5500 or 6500 or is this a decision driven by aesthetics?
I have for sale one Dupla 300 Cable. Still New in the Box. No suction
cups. Best Offer or trade (see below). Reply by private e-mail.
For those that need them, I will trade REAL SAE' s (2"3") for Caridina
japonica Shrimp (Yamato Shrimp) or plants. Sure beats $60!!! for 5. You
pay for overnite shipping and I will do the same.
