Almost made it....

I'm so close to finally getting all my supplies for my 120 clown loach species/biotype tank. So here it is:
2 nova HO light fixtures, total 216 watts.

Fluval fx5
Fluval 405
Might also run a marine land 350b

2 300 watt heaters(forgot which brand)

24 pcs of Malaysian driftwood(a lot I know)
150lbs quikcrete play sand
Java ferns
Java moss

48x24 calypso oak stand and canopy, black
The tank

Should I get a power head to make a better current for the clowns?
Anything else?
I'm gonna start a tank journal in a couple months!

Sounds like a good project. Your flow should be fine with the FX5 alone.

Yeah I'm planning each output to push towards the other side of the tank where the inputs will be. The heaters are both going in the middle of the tank.
Behind driftwood will be the inputs and the heaters, only the outputs will show. The driftwood lowered the ph to 6.4 which is good for clowns. I want a more natural look, not some cheesy one.
Do you guys think I should get anything else?

[gm72]

I think you'll be in great shape with your plan!

Thanks. I've been researching and planning for 4-5 months. Probably the first 2 on clown loaches, The next few on the tank setup and clowns. I'm so excited!!! We went to get the tank and me and my dad couldn't pick it up
So I need the tank the stand and the play sand. I ordered everything it just needs to get here! Oh yeah forgot the plants. I'm gonna make my first diy co2 injector! I have 2 2ltr soda bottles, for 2 co2 injectors or one big one! Oh boy I'm shaking with joy so much I acnt splel right!



And guess what!? It's all thanks to you guys for advising my decisions, and helping me along

SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE AC MEMBERS!!

That sounds awesome! I love clown loaches! Definitely do the aquarium journal so we can all see how its coming along

[Fisharefriends27]

Thanks! The only thing I'm worrying about is the stand, but everything is fine. I already put a thread about the stand so I don't want start a discussion here about it. I will start a tank journal once I get all of the supplies.
Do you guys think the Tannins from the driftwood in the setup I explained would look natural or no?
