hi there i have just bought a 220 litre cube tank with external filter. I so far have added gravel, a plastic moss ball with some java moss from my old tank, and the main ingredient water lol, i am on a tight budget as when i got my tank a bought the biggest i could afford, as i didnt want to regret buying a smaller one so i used all my savings,
so far i have been cycling the tank for two weeks, at the start i added some household ammonia. i have been doing tests every day, and things are going good, i want to do it properly so i dont want to rush my fish in just yet, i thought id focus on decorating it nice and make a nice home for my futre fish,
i do not want to include real plants just yet as i am still learning, and thought this would complicate things, but i definatley want some in the future.
i am going to stock it with a school of desioni barbs, a school of lemon tetras, two blue gouramis, a bunch of corys and a few ottos.
i was wanting to know are there any tips on how to decorate on a budget, i know it sounds stupid but i was looking at the price of big ornaments and they are off the map.
i was thinking maybe some slate but not sure of the price, any advice welcome, here are som pictures for you to look at
