Hi everyone, its been a while since I have been here but it seems that everything is going good. I have a 20g tank right now, with all necessary equipment (ie. light, stand, filter, etc.) As of right now, it has nothing in it, and Im thinking about getting it started again. I have another tank set up that is more of a community tank so I can use filter media from it to help cycle.
So, heres kind of my idea. Im thinking I can make it extremely low light planted, so I do not have to upgrade my lighting. Maybe some sort of sand substrate, good idea or bad? I want it to look natural. For stocking I was thinking of getting a way from community, and maybe going something like tiger barbs, maybe do a small school of the green ones and a small school of regular ones. I also really like panda cories, so if i could have a few of those that would be cool. At first I was thinking goldfish, because I think they are really nice as they grow, but im starting to think it is not such a good idea.
Basically those are my ideas somewhat, and I am looking for input. Also, if you guys want to suggest anything let me know. Im open to different ideas. I just think it would be nice to have live plants.
Thanks for the help and information
