  3. I am wondering what size the output pipe is for this powerhead
  4. Yeah that will be a fun test! I will definitely place the same plants directly under the light and in the shaded area and monitor their growth. I was thinking of having the spot light hang about 2 feet above the tank so the light will spread out quite a bit. Most of the plants I will put in will be low light. The idea was to have the outer edges darker but if it is too dramatic I could always add another. This is the light I plan to use.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075CKBCQC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_YkH.FbDHG20AZ?psc=1
  5. Hello every, I am new to the community and relatively new to the hobby (3-4 years). I spend hours watching fish videos/streams, reading posts on forums, and online articles. So I am knowledgeable but lack a bunch of practical knowledge from others on forums that have been doing this for decades. Anyway I have MTS as many people do. I am in the process of setting up my man cave / fish room and I have a 5 foot 125 gallon tank sitting in my garage waiting for the room. I have gone through about 80 revisions of how I want to set this tank up. Here is the recent crazy idea that I was wondering if it would work. I want to do a planted tank with primarily epified plants such as java fern with maybe a few crypts tucked into rocks. I have this idea to build it so that the light is bright with big shadows. I think I can accomplish this with large drift wood and using a single LED spot light hung over the top of the tank. I would have a section of the top covered in floating plants. To also add to the dramatic shadows. The stocking is maybe the crazy part. I want to go back to the first fish I loved and that is the honey gourami. I had a pair of wild type honeys that I loved watching. Some of you might think I am crazy but I want to do like 20+ honey gouramis in place of a tetra or barb. I have read that they are very social fish and I can't see why they wouldn't work in a large group. The next crazy part is I would love to have them with a group of 5 electric blue acara. I feel like the honeys would be big enough to not be food for the EBA. They also preferred to hang out under my floating plants when I had them so I predict they stay away from the EBA. I would probably want to put my 6 panda Garra in there as well as my king tiger pleco forgot the L number sorry. Any problems you all can see coming up with a set up like this? Also would a bamboo shrimp get destroyed by the EBA?
