I have a new tank
The pic is a stock photo, I have the tank in pieces right now and will be setting it up and starting a fishless cyle on Thanksgiving weekend.
It is a 75 gallon Marineland tank, stand and canopy.
Included is an Empress 400 bio wheel filter and 200 watt Stealth heater (I know the heater is too small but I have a 300 watt in my 46 gallon and I plan on swapping them) and of course lighting glass top ect...
I am going with a fairly dark blue substrate that has smooth BB to pea size bits. (100 lbs)
It will be a FW tank and I think I want to stay away from live plants in this one (maybe later)
Not sure of polulation yet, I do want to seperate my comunity fish from my African Cichlids (they are getting along OK for now but when the Cichlids get bigger?)
Aside from the gravel I am aiming for a fairly natural look.
Here are some things I am looking at on Ebay:
5Cave Aquarium Tank Mountain Valley Decoration Ornament - eBay (item 350126194593 end time Dec-15-08 08:31:06 PST)
Hollow Log 2 Extra-Large Aquarium/Terrarium Ornament - eBay (item 110301392210 end time Nov-17-08 14:52:59 PST)
Aquarium Ornament - TREE TRUNK w/ Plants - SUPER SIZE!! - eBay (item 330271963527 end time Dec-16-08 10:43:06 PST)
Artificial Aquarium Reef Centerpiece with Cave -- Huge! - eBay (item 120335281684 end time Dec-16-08 15:21:10 PST)
Just to give you an idea. I know these won't all fit and I need to leave room for swimming.
Probably some silk plants maybe?
Any suggestions?
