first Planted tank

[Joetaff]

This is my first planted tank 75 gal I just got it set up yesterday here are the specs

Lighting
170 watts 2x65 odyssea(I know thats not great but i'm on a student budget here) with 2x65 watt 10,000k coralife bulbs
and 2x20 watts power glow florescent tubes


Substrate
soilmaster select charcoal

Co2
DIY baby!! I have a 3 bottle rig in the works
The guy at my LFS is very encouraging on my plans
for DIY co2 b/c he says with pressurized you set it up
and forget it, whereas with DIY you become more in
tune with your tank because you have to be working on
it all the time. I am also on a student budget haha

Filtration
404 fluval canister

(the tank is still a little cloudy but it will clear up in a little bit)

Hey guys I am not going to do discus or at least not for a while, i have decided the investment necessary is to much for me, I may come back to them when i get my tank stabilized but that prob wont be until after i get pressurized co2 IF I even get pressurized but anyways i have been on this forum for a while and thought that maybe some of you guys would like to see my tank the day after I planted it.

Thanks for all you advice and help

Its a shame because this tank would look killer with six red melon discus haha
