I am getting ready to build a 79 Gallon Tank. I need advice and insight into the special requirements of a tank this size. I plan on getting a normal HOB filter, but am unsure of the flow rate to look for. I also need to know what wattage to look for in a heater, and anything else I may be overlooking.
I am planning on stocking this tank with Yo-Yo loaches, and a few Zebras. (I would like some Clown Loaches, but figure this tank is too small at 48" long x 21" wide x 18" high.) The loaches will be the main inhabitants, and I will add some smaller schooling fish to fill the upper levels.
I would really like to make my tank look like some I have seen with the rock background and a couple of piles of rock in the tank. I believe I saw them on a Cichlid website, and they looked very nice, kind of like sunken ruins in the jungle. The problem is that I have no idea how to achieve this look. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
