Hello all!
I have a 36g bowfront tropical community tank. Will be planted with a bonsai tree, some stones, and various plants. Black sand substrate.
The water changes are completely 100% automated (filter maintenance and gravel vac manually). I can set up the tank to change any % of water any # of times a week. I have a reservoir tank in the basement, heated, with air stones and a circulating filter, plumbed to my display tank upstairs. Drained water goes to a house drain. Love this set up Currently it's set up to do 30% water changes automatically twice a week.
Numbers are consistently 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 5-10 nitrates.
Tanks been set up about 3 months. Filter is FX4 on a spray bar.
I also have a quarantine tank cycled and ready.
Current fish stock:
- 6 guppies
- 1 bristlenose pleco
- 3 mickey mouse platies
Next steps:
- Aquascape with live plants
- Then, buy more fish!
With the automatic water changes, how overstocked can I be?
I'm trying to get fish in all the stratas of course.

What, if anything, would you suggest changing?
