Larry Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 First, I have been away from the fish seen for awhile, whilst I am building a new house. I have set up my 110 gal at my office in the west end. The tank has two purple parrots and three plecos and a dojo loach. Its got two 48" coralife fixtures each sporting twin 65 watt bulbs. I am looking to create a planted tank. I would appreciate any advice on set up, co2 and where to get cheap healthy plants. The tank is not new and has been running for about 3 years and I have a couple anubis as well. thank you in advance. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vallisneria Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 The ACE fish auction is coming up at the end of the month(feb 24th). If you want lots of plants for cheap prices thats a great place to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishful Thinking Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I actually just got out of plants, but I definately see their attraction. The only warning I would give is that it is like having two hobbies in the same tank, not that there is anything wrong with that. I agree with Flip, some of the best deals are from other members. In terms of quality and selection, I recommend visiting Nature's Corner Store. As for CO2, if you want to save some money you can go to one of the non-pet store shops around. This topic lists some of them: http://albertaaquatica.com/index.php?showtopic=15672 This topic helps with how to put CO2 in the tank: http://albertaaquatica.com/index.php?showtopic=16154 here's another: http://albertaaquatica.com/index.php?showtopic=17130 I have a 10 lbs cylinder, as well as a powerhead and enough flourite to fill the tank that I would be willing to sell. PM me if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
