Haven't been around in a while, but I was hoping to start a new tank log...I'm ditching my 42 gallon hex for a 125 gallon tank.

Just ordered it and this is what is on the way. I'd like some advice as to what any of you think I might need in addition to my list below.

* 125g All Glass aquarium
* 2x96w 6700k CF lighting (not much w/gallon I know, but this is going to be a discus tank and I didn't want to over do it.
* 5lb CO2/regulator, needle valve, bubble counter, CO2 diffuser
* 2 Hydor in-line 300W heaters
* 2 Odyssea CFS 4 canister filters (Emperor 280 HOB if needed)
* 8 bags of Flourite

I'll be transferring a few plants from my 42 hex.
Anubia Barteri
Anubia Lanceolata
Anubia Petite Nana
Hornwort
Some Java Moss

Of course I'll be needing plenty of plants...any suggestions for the 1.5 watts per gallon? Any restrictions for the high temp (84-86F) concerning plants?

Thanks!
Dan

Plant Ideas:
Dwarf Lily Bulbs
Anubias Nana
MicroSword Grass
Water Onions
Large Ozelot Sword
Rangeri Swords
Didplis Diandra
Rotala Indica
Subulata
Jungle Vals and Corkscrew Vals

Have Fun!

If you don't mind moss, I like Christmas Moss.

10G- 6 Zebra Danios, 1 Upside Down Catfish
20G- 1 Goldfish
72G(maybe95)- Need Stock suggestions

Just to say, unless you dont want a lot of algae growth, or have a lot of fast growing plants, maybe the Co2 isnt neccessary. The regular plants that you have are slow growing, and Co2 wont really help. Unless you add Aponogeton bulbs, or the lace plant, you wont have too many options. Also, if you add aponos, the flourite will go to no waste. Hope to see more posts!

Fishrock...I do like the Christmas moss, but I haven't been able to find it in my local area. I have several pieces of drift wood that are encrusted with java moss though that I will use until I can find some of the X-mas moss.

Gobyfan...I do intend to get some more fast growers.
Wisteria
Anacharis
Rotala Indica
Apons like you mentioned
And maybe some smaller swords Rosette..etc.

I've had every algae that I can think of, but have always been able to combat it with the photo period, algae eating livestock, or fast growing plants. One thing that I did leave out as far as my equipment is my UV sterilizer. IMO I think that helps with algae as well.
