All good. If your on the app then the signature links don't work so I thought I'd post it again.

i appreciate i got some good tips in the article. when i take my tank down to redo the trim im going to make sure it cycles right and by then ill have a real test kit and a quality filter so things will be perfect for whatever i can figure out to put in the tank

i am getting me a 90 gallon tank and going to do the fishless cycle so I still have some time to plan as well, but I think I am going to do an African Cichlid tank. going to put me some of the Mbuna and some featherfin catfish. maybe some electirc yellow, cobalt blue zebra, bumblebee... still planning. that is my suggestion anyway. big tank so you have lots of room to play

Depends what your looking at. Lots of possibilities.
African cichlid set up.
Heavily planted tank with rainbows and other schoolers.
Oscar (or similar) tank.
Etc etc etc
I would kill for a 125g tank!
