I want to get something to upgrade my 55g tank. I am happy with the filter and UV, but I was thinking lighting. Its unplanted though, so that might be a waste. Anything else I could do?
fish_4_all said:Planted tanks might be a new decor step for your tank but it sounds like you really don't like the idea. Hvae you thought about a bubble slide, maybe a cave system or just making a maze for the fish to swim through? Lots of ideas to try before diving into planted tanks. Plants are an option but they will take a long time to give you the "look" you might be after. Do a lot of research because my plants are growing like weeds but they still don't give the effect I hoped to see. I wanted a wall of plants along the back of my tank and in order to get it I will have to get rid of my gravel and get some Eco-Complete or similar substrate in order to get them to grow the way I want them to.
Just make sure that plants are REALLY the move you want to make and then decide what is you want to do with the plants. It will save a lot of headaches later and will allow you to get set up to create the look you want and not have to make major changes later.
