Here is my new 30 gallon freshwater tank. I had a 70 gallon saltwater tank for 5 years, but have been without a tank the last few years. This is my first attempt at getting back into the hobby :) This tank has been setup for about 3 weeks now, and so far so good!

In Tank :
2x Dalmatian Lyretail Mollies
7x Neon Tetras
1x Neon Blue Dwarf Gourami
1x Flame Dwarf Gourami
1x GloFish Tetra
1x Black Kuhlii Loach
2x Ghost Shrimp

Here is a pic with the day light on :

I am running a Marineland Emperor 350 HOB and a National Geographic 30" Deluxe LED Programmable Light (not sure best times to program, kinda winging it as of now).

Thoughts and comments greatly appreciated :)

It's cycled, have been doing steady testing with API Master Kit. Used API quick start and API Stress Zyme...all tests have leveled out :)

I would up the school of Kuhli Loaches since they're highly social fish. When kept singly or in tiny groups (3-) they're very reclusive and not seen near as much as they could with a school!

That's an interesting thought, I didn't realize that. Thanks for the tip :)

I have now gotten rid of the Neons to a friend of mine, everything else is still doing great :) Going to pick up 2-3 more loaches tomorrow...any other thoughts/ideas for future stocking?
