75 Gallon Planted Aquarium with CO2

Here's a video of my 75 Gallon Planted Aquarium Setup. The fish are Neon Tetras, Glowlight Tetras, Bleeding Heart Tetras, and a couple Otocinclus. There are ...

@CI321 The need for CO2 really depends on the amount of plants, light, growth, and such you are looking to attain. When this video was taken, the plants were about 60% filled in. Along with the CO2, I was dosing the tank with fertilizers daily, and supplying high amounts of light. Just keep an eye on your plants over time. Their overall health should tell you if you need to add some CO2 or not. It was the other factors that required it for this tank. I hope you enjoy your planted tank :)

@kaleluk31 Depending on how large your tank is, you can find some larger fish like Gouramis... I have had several types and have never had a problem with them eating other fish... They will tend to pick at mosses and smaller plants, but not too bad. I have never had any dwarfs though since they do seem to be a little aggressive. If you are looking to stay small, cardinal tetras are also really good. I also love my Otto's, they are small and are workhorses when it comes to algae removal.

@CI321 CO2 systems are methods of delivering CO2 to the plants in your tank. With this type of setup, you need more CO2 than what is being provided naturally. This take has a 20Ib CO2 tank with a regulator on a timer. This allows the CO2 to be delivered during the times of the day it's needed most. It's something that you will want to do a little research on before jumping into though. Search for CO2 Planted Tank on Google and you should find some great articles.

It's very very quiet, typically.. I say typically, because it can get an air bubble in it that makes it a little noisy. I only use it as a biological filter and have the basket filled with Eheim Ehfisubstrat, so it rarely gets messed with. The only time I will get a bubble in it is when I clean the media in there and turn it off. I really like the filter with the XP doing the heavier filtering. Hope that helps :)

@XXGOLDENXXDRAGONXX Thanks for the compliments. If you are going to be doing a planted tank, I would HIGHLY suggest a CO2 system. You will also want to ensure that you have ample lighting for your setup and you will probably want to do some research on ferts too. I used a mix of Flourite and another sand/silt mix for my substrate. It's been a good hobby, but it surely has it's challenges :)

FoutsNC commented on 17 Sep 2011

@CI321 There are several ways, depending on the needs of the plants in the tank. For a 75G, I would highly suggest a CO2 tank setup with a regulator and timers. plantedtank -dot- net has a lot of information on CO2 setups and planted tanks. Be sure to browse the forums to learn a lot about different setups and such. This tank had a 20Ib Co2 Tank with a Rex Regultor on a timer.

@teawins21 next time you detach your filter to clean the media make sure that once you put it back together therer are no air bubbles in it after you seal it back up... my 350 was making a lot of noise for a time and i found that if it is completely filled with water that it is very silent... you should not be able to hear it

im trying to have a colorful community tank, i have 4 serpae tetra,7 neon terta 5 assorted male mollies i think and 1 pleco i was trying to think of one more try of fish to finish this off but i dont know, all i do know is it has to be small so it dont kill off my other small fish like the tetra

FoutsNC commented on 12 Sep 2012

Thank you. Since this video was taken, I have changed this setup to a rock tank with Cichlids. The planted tank was great, but it's a lot of work. You have some nice looking tanks too and probably know all about the work it takes to keep them up :)

FoutsNC commented on 02 Apr 2012

Thank you for the feedback. No offense taken at all. This tank is setup completely different today. After having to perform maintenance weekly to contain growth, we converted it to a Cichlid tank with no plants.

XDiZzYX911 commented on 02 Apr 2012

foutsnc, no offense but you have wasted a lot of the aquarium space and you have much less fish than what you can actually have in that aquarium.

Nice! My 55gal tank is setup with alot of the same stuff. AH supply lighing, Rex Griggs regulator, rena xp3, EI ferts.

CI321 commented on 15 Sep 2011

@FoutsNC i started a 75 gallon fresh water planted, i do not have a co2 system, but the plants seem to be doing fine

How loud is your magnum 350? Some people say they can't even hear theirs. However, mine is pretty audible.

Euh perso j'utilise le manado est c'est un sol vraiment bien, qui n'as pas besoin d'avoir du terreau en dessous, car ce sol ce charge en matière nourrissante pour les plantes grâce à la décompositions des déchets, fertilisation liquides ect... Et je l'aie dans mon aquarium depuis un an et il ne c'est pas tassé comme tu dis -_-

bhalire commented on 07 Jun 2011

Le substrat est du manado, que je déconseille parce qu'il fini par se tasser... Le co2 500gr non rechargeable, mais pareil, rien ne vaut les grosses bouteilles faites pour les débits de boisson. En substrat rien ne vaut un mélange de terre / argile avec par dessus du sable de loire.

Bonjour, Quel subrat utilisez vous? Quel type de Co2? Très beau!

@jemax5 je met les alevins dans une couveuse ou un pondoire flottant qui se trouve dans l'aquarium de reproduction, pour éviter les changements de parametre de l'eau. les pondoire que j'utilise sont en filet (la circulation de l'eau se fait mieu dans ce type de pondoire, par rapport au pondoir flottant en plastique dur). je ne les mets jamais dans un bocal, a cause des parametres de l'eau qui ne restent pas stable et qu'il faut changer l'eau très très souvent.

gege49410 commented on 03 Sep 2010

@stephane76620 les femelles restent dans l'aquarium, ça évite de les stresser. je récupère les jeunes dans une plante flottante, les alevins s'y cachent et il y a plus qu'a prendre l'épuisette pour les attraper et les mettre dans une couveuse, installé dans l'aquarium, pour que les alevins ne subissent pas de changement de parametre d'eau. dans le pondoire ou je met les alevins, j'ajoute quelques brin de plante, mais ce n'est pas obligatoire.

@jemax5 tu la mes dans une autre aquarium le tent de la ponte et des quellea fini tu la remes avec tes autre poisson ou tu la mes dans un pondoir flotent mes c pas tré bon sinon il faux rien dans un pondoire juste quil soi propre

le botia (pour les escargots) vit par 6 mini dans 600 voir 800l minimum, le poisson couteau n'a rien a faire la, les cory vivent par 6 voir 8 minimum, pareil pour les otocinclus, les discus ne vivent pas en couple mais en groupe (en couple uniquement pour la repro) enfin bref t'as un gros soucis de pop :)
