    My new planted tank

    Hey everyone.  New guy here... this is my new planted tank.  If you have any suggestions,
    let me know what you think.  It is a really simple layout as I don't have any experience
    doing complex planted tanks...mainly fish tanks.  I wanted to try the whole ADA system to
    see how well it really works.

    I'm using 125 watts of 6700K light for 8 hrs a day with pressurized C02.  Also using
    ADA Amazonia with Powersand Special and Tourmaline BC.  The liquid ferts I'm using
    at the moment are Brighty K, Green Brighty Step 1, and Green Bacter to help with cycling.  
    I'm also doing 50% water changes daily and hopefully won't run into any serious algae problems!

    The plants are from Dan at Houston Aquarium Warehouse.

    Let me know what you think!

    Jeff

              I will have to add that the tank suffers from the "Wall" scape

                Thanks for the feedback guys.

                thomas - The wood is from Fish Gallery.  My fish will most likely come from them too.

                eklikewhoa - I see what you mean by wall scape.  Hopefully I can get off work to see the
                presentation by Luis Navarro later this month, and get some ideas from some of the local plant
                gurus.  And I need to look closer at my ADA layout books for ideas.

                          What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.
