So tomorrow is the big day!

Tomorrow I am finally setting up my 55 gallon. I have all the filters seeding BB from my 30 gallon tank as we speak. I wont be adding any new fish as my bolivians are still on order. I am going to sand not gravel. I plan on using a bowl to place the water in the tank after I have washed repeatedly and added the sand that way it doesn't get kicked up. I will be running an aqueon 55 and a tetra whisper 30 until I get my Fluval c4. Anything else I should be doing that I'm missing out on? I'll be adding some current tank water then adding fresh water that will be treated. I'll be adding an air pump within the next month also.

You should make a build thread.

Are you going to plant it with live plants?

I will be after my baby is born.

Fluval c4( tetra whisper 30 ATM )
Fake plants ATM
Driftwood
Pool filter sand
Air pump for 60 gallon will do bubble wall
Dual hoods with lights

Looking at your stocking list, and yes I did read that it may change, I don't think your ADF would fit in very well. What about adding a striped peacock eel and or some Cory cats?

Frog will be moved, corys will be up'd to 5
