Or you can go budget with a Beamsworks DA series LED and timer from Amazon. What is your budget? Fluval and Current have crazy programmable RBG+W LED lights for growing plants.
I don't think the K or Kelvin rating is as important, compared to the Par rating at a given depth. Look up the ATI products at Kensfish, Jehmco and American Aqaurium Products websites.ģ. Fish breeders almost always use sponge filters in their grow-out tanks, and their tanks are usually stocked heavier than most hobbyist's tanks.Ģx ATI Hydro Sponge V's (one regular and one "Pro" version w/ the reticulated coarse sponge) and a good air pump would work well. An AC70 would do well on a 40g.Īnother option is getting a decent air pump and put a sponge filter in the back left/right corners. I have used that website to buy a Versa-Top lid before for a tank.Ģ. I will be updating the progress here on this thread.ĭr Foster and Smith online has good prices on them. THANKS TO EVERYONE IN ADVANCE FOR LOOKING AND GIVING ME SOME IDEAS. I saw one recently that looked like a forest and I thought that was super cool. These are where I will be getting my inspiration. Anything I am not thinking about or don't know about a 40 gallon breeder? Here are a few ideas that I found on google for the aquascape. I want a carpet (maybe s.repens or dwarf hairgrass.)ħ. Should I add something underneath to give my plants some nutrients. The substrate I'm thinking is either going to be PFS or BDBS. Is that a no no? I do have a small airpump with an airstone, that I haven't setup. Do I need some sort of powerhead? Where I am putting the tank, most likely the HOB (if that's what I go with) will be on one end of the tank instead of the back. I dose Flourish and Excel about 3 times a week 1ml each time.ĥ. My current tank, which I filled with tap water seems to be about 7.6ph, and 6 on Kh and Gh. Maybe a BN pleco? I don't want to be worrying too much about Kh and Gh and Ph. Maybe more depending on your suggestions. Somewhere between 8-10 would be a good amount, I'm thinking. Last but not least I am looking for suggestions on fish. Don't we all? What is the general consensus on lights? I have read a bunch of different opinions on the K rating that I can go with so just trying to get a few opinions, gathered here.Ĥ. I want lush green plants but without the hassle of high tech. I am loving the live plant route and want to stay that way. Any reasons to absolutely not stick with a HOB? Sell me one something else?ģ. A canister filter seems a bit overkill and I don't think I'm reayd to head down that path just yet. Should I stick with that? I was looking at possibly 2 Aquaclear 50s or maybe just one Aqueon 75. I know its not required but does anyone think I NEED one? If so should I make one or just bite the bullet and buy one?Ģ. I just have questions now that this is a bigger tank.ġ. Not super help as I have learned SO much here and have a decent handle on everything. My betta seems happy with it which is all that matters. It was hard to scape and doesn't look the best. If you haven't seen my little 8g here it is.īeing so tall and somewhat small width for a tall tank. I think I am really going to like it being not so tall. I wasn't sure what the difference was between a breeder tank and a regular 40 gallon tank but after some quick googling I figured it out. I was looking for a 55 but this one came along and I thought it would be perfect. It really got me interested in the hobby and I want MORE fish. I will be picking it up Wednesday provided the weather holds up.Ĭurrently the only tank I have is my 8g Hexagon betta tank. I was in my car so I wasn't able to pick it up. I have bought a new to me 40 gallon breeder tank with a stand.
