Title: Fluval Osaka tank

Has anyone tried one of these? I am considering buying the 41 gallon version.
Would the light be good enough for a planted tank?
What would be a good pump, was thinking eheim with spray bar.
Hoping to do pressurized co2 and fluval stratum substrate.
Is this too small for discus? I wouldn't mind 3? And a cardinal tetra school.

Just looking for opinions!
Thanks!

I have seen them fully planted browsing online, I think they use a dual bulb t5, can't remember if they are ho or not. Probably looking at a med-lo tech planted with the stock lighting, and super expensive from what I can remember. Better off contacting Ray and getting an edge-less tank made with starfire glass, and making a 2x4 stand with a stained wood covering, and pick the light to suspend up used off of here. Cheaper and would look better, plus this is a hobby and would make for a great build to follow.
