Aquarium Advice FINatic
Hi, I am mostly into saltwater but have decided to purchase a 40 acrylic tank with overflow to setup a freshwater tank. I plan to setup a tank that will require minimal attention as I spend a LOT of time maintaining my SW reef tank.
I plan on having two angel fish and a couple of other fish. I'm just not sure on what would be the best fish suited??
I also would like to get a Fluval G3 (if I can find a used one) along with an inline heater and inline UV.
e
For substrate I have a big bag of play sand I was thinking of using, would this be a wise idea or result in more maintenance? Assuming the UV can stop any algae growth.
To start I may throw a couple of plants in but I don't intend to do a full planted tank with co2 etc.
I plan on adding some large rocks purely because there are some huge piles of them outside my home. And I plan on boiling them before putting them in, and will do a fishless cycle.
Any ideas or tips would be appreciated, I just want a good looking low maintenance tank with happy fish!
