I'm getting a 125 set-up and I want to try a low tech discus tank
I need help though... I've only planted tanks much smaller then a 125 and with a tank this size and the type of fish I want to keep I need some solid advice.
The tank is a 72" x 18" x 22" Filtered by two ehiem 2217 canisters. Subsrate will be eco-complete (about 3" or so)
1. Lighting: how much power do I need for a tank this long and deep with slow growing plants?
2. Plants: what plants would fair well in low light and high temps(85) ? Are there any ground cover plants that could survive low light and high temps?
So far I have crypts, java ferm and some anibias on ther list but I would like a few more
3. What fish could I keep as a clean up crew in high temps?
