Aquarium Advice Freak
I just got my hands on a 55 gallon aquarium for my cichlids so I can move them out of my 30 gallon tank. I'm just now getting ready to start setting it up and still have to build a stand. I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on what equipment I should get for it (filter, light, air pumps)? But I guess my biggest question is.... Should I use sand, or gravel in the bottom of my tank?!?! I have cichlids and a Pleco right now but may get a few others after its set up, and I am unfamiliar with sand so I don't know what to use!! You guys have given me great advise thus far so any advise it suggestions would be appreciated!
