as you can see the tank is quite deep, but I'm planning to have around 4 inches of subtrate using the DIY recipes that can be found in this forum.
The water volume is around 380L or 100 US gallons. The substrate would be around 4in thick.
lighting: it's an aqua one setup with 2x regular T5. I somehow doubt this would provide enough light? The plants I'm getting (from aquagreen) doesn't require much light. if not enough light, how about 4x 54W T5 HO? too much or just right?
filtration: The setup has a 1200L/hour canister filter. I doubt this is enough for a planted tank? I'm not aiming for a rainforest-type setup. But I want lots of plants.
co2: no plans at the moment. see fertilizers (i.e. dinosaur spit)
fertilizers: I will be using dinosaur line of fertilizers (from aquagreen) so I think that'll be good. Maybe I can add other fertilizers from other makers like seachem? if yes, what is your recommendation?
