Hey thought I would post an update of my planted tank. Its a 46 gallon and high light/high tech, this is the tank I started the dry start method with. However after the HC/dwarf baby tears became uprooted I replaced the foreground with dwarf hairgrass. I have tried to automate as much as possible to save time as I still must do a 30-50% water change, trim bi weekly, etc... So I have incorporated timers, auto feeders and auto dosers.

Specs:
-46 gallon
-Lights: Hagen 2x 39watt T5HO fixture with Giesemann bulbs and Finnex Ray 2 7000k LED fixture
-Subsrate: ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia
-Ferts: PPS Pro regiment (dosed with a Kamoer auto doser)
-Co2: Dual stage pressurized with an inline atomizer
-Filter: Rena Xp2, Hydor Koralia for extra flow

46 gallon planted: pressurized Co2, PPS Pro ferts, t5HO x2+ Finnex LED, ADA Aqua Soil

24 gallon Saltwater Nanocube: LED
