Hey all, earlier this week I tore down and rebuild by 80 bowfront. Here is the first pic
Thanks for sharing.What plants are you using?
Please do post updates as the tank settles down.
Regards
What kind of LED are you using?
The plants are:
Eleocharis parvula
Hemianthus callitrichoides
Potamogeton gayi
Fissidens fontanus
Hygrophila pinnatifida
Rotala macrandra
Rotala wallichii
The lights are a Deep Blue Solar Flare DX (designed for corals) and a fluval Fresh & Plant 2.0
Tell us more about your setup, are you using co2, ferts, what's substrate etc?
Im using a 20oz paintball canester for co2 with a dici regulator controlled by a ph monitor. The substrait is ada amazonia, and I use seachem flourish for ferts.

If i may , i would suggest you look into a bigger canister for your CO2, not sure how often you need to refill the 20 oz and cost to refill, with a 10 lb for example , it might very well be only a few bucks more that the 20 oz and last much longer , just food for thought.
Is there a specific reason for only dosing Seachem Flourish? , how much & how often?
Regards
charlie youre absolutely right and I'm looking to upgrade the tank, but for now its what I got. As for the ferts, I only dose after I do water changes.
Looks like a good start. I use ADA amazonia too and love it. I'd just suggest increasing the plant mass, the more plants you have the better. Especially fast growing stem plants.
I plan to but I'm moving at the end if April so I'll have to wait till after to add plants
