these are my new tank specs:
Tank Specs
bowfront
Height 500mm 20"
Length 980mm 39"
Depth 400mm 16"
196000 cc
50 US Gallons
Lighting
3*30w 10000K overdriven
The light bulbs are jebo and they are an odd size 89cm/35" so I will change those to something in the 6000-8000k range as soon as i can find some tubes that fit.
90w*1.7/50=3wpg

I am in south africa and most of the decent products are very hard to come by or very expensive to import so I hope the stuff I have available will be ok.
I currently have a 20 gallon bow front with 40watts of lighting and no co2, which is happily growing algae, the crypts, anubia and cabomba do ok, not fanatastic, but ok, so I am hoping to be able to grow some more demanding plants in my new setup.
Any comments or recommendations on the above?
