Aquarium Advice Addict
Okay, so after a little sweet talking, my dad's agreed to let me put a 55 in his house. I want to make it an angel tank, that's the main focus. I want it pretty well planted. I don't want to get into pressurized co2 though.
If all goes right I'm getting a the tank and stand CHEAP from a guy at work who upgraded to a 75 and doesn't want the 55 anymore.
For equipment: (random order, as it comes to my head)
-tank and stand
-Black sand, thinking blasting sand as it seems popular, really anything cheaper than "aquarium sand"
-Lighting- T5-ho 4ft / 2LAMP Aquarium lighting would this be enough light?
-Filtration-all I've had are HOB's but thinking about going with a canister, suggestions?
-Need a heater
-Plants are really up for anything
Fish:
-2 Angels
-Albino Rainbow Shark
-bottom dwellers/CUC
-Some schooling fish, like 2 larger schools
Dad wants this tank to be different, cool fish that you noramlly don't see.
Don't think the tank will fill till about the 20th.
Now I'm sure I missed things since I just found out I can do it, so I'm typing really fast and my mind is racing. Haha I'm open for any suggestions, advice, tips etc! I'm really excited about this!
Thanks!
