Aquarium Advice Regular
Hey everyone
I'm now in the process of gathering everything for my new tank set up, its a Jewel Rio 180 Litres (second hand) which I'm planning to have a natural set up with lots of plants in!
So far I have got the plant soil base, sand as substrate, various stones for decor as well as different sized pieces of Mopani wood. I've got a Fluval U4 filter and an Interpet 300W Heater.. but before I get going with it is there anything I'm forgetting?
I'm also not sure on what to stock for this tank, in another tank I currently have 7 Mollies (1 adult and 6 fry), 2 Oto catfish, 1 platy and 5 neon tetras which would be going into the new tank once it is fully set up! I'm looking to add more colour as well as more of a clean up crew, what ones would work with what I already have?
This is the biggest tank I've had this far and it will be the first time trying new things, like a complete fish-less cycle as well as having sand as a substrate so any advice would be appreciated. I would also love to see some of your tanks for inspiration so feel free to leave them below! I'll be using this thread to keep track of my progress
Thanks in advance!
