Hi guys!
First of all i want to introduce myselfe:
My name is Klaus Herold. I livein Austria and work as a pharmacist, so i do have alot of knowledge about chemistry which helps alot i guess.
I have read along this forum and since i am getting my new tank next week and i still have no clue on some things i have some questions. I am not an absolute beguinner since i have had fish since the age of 6, however i did never have a hightech planted aquarium so far.
I want to have a planed tank with discusfish.
My tank is of a sice of 160cm x 70cm x 70cm sice which is about 780 liters.
I have 4 tubes of 80W T5 lights and a pretty good CO2 system with ph controll.
My first question is what you guys think about a substrate heater and which dimension it should have for a tank of this sice.
I read alot about "EI Excel" dosing here. However i couldnt find out what that is so far. Please bring some light into that misterium. I understood that Excel is some kind of no CO2 dosing. However, whats EI?
As i am from Austria i do not have access to ADA soil or something like these substrates. i can only go for dennerle or JBL substrates. Have you guys any experienes with these substrates?
thanks for your help
yours Klaus
