I got this tank from a children’s museum that was closing. It came with the stand only. I need to get the remaining gravel and walls cleaned out. Fortunately it was used for freshwater so it shouldn’t be too onerous a job.
I’m planning on a planted tank with black sand. I may have a some tall plants in a patch on the left side, but will mostly stick to low and medium sized plants. It will be a low tech tank.
If I recall correctly, one of the more popular aquarium plant providers online will design a layout for customers. They do charge a fee which is redeemable for plants. I just have to find which one it is. Anyone familiar with this company’s name?
I’m thinking of a stock of a large school of cories, a couple of schools of tetras, a few swordtails, a few German Blue Rams, and a couple of angelfish. I know I’ll need to build a rock shelter for the Rams. Any thoughts on this stocking?
More pics coming soon as I find the equipment second-hand. Once it’s set up I’ll do a fishless cycle with media from AnglesPlus. We’re military and have moved often - so I’ve used their filters quite a few times and never been disappointed.
