Aquarium Advice Freak
New ~50 gal Aquarium finally
been meaning to upgrade from my 40Gal long to a 55 Gal. That I was getting from my uncle.. (55 was also the 48in long tank)
turns out I got a tank form a guy sat work. it is a 58 Gal tall, need to measure the length, but I got the tank, filter, light, some Driftwood, everything except substrate, heater, stand and a hood.
I will be setting this one up and moving all of my Cichlids to it.
Couple questions:
once I get it filled with water and cycling, would it help to take some of the water from my current tank to get it started?
Also I am thinking of doing Black Sand at the bottom.. what is the best place to get that at?
This new tank will go in my finished basement to keep it away from the sun light that my current tank gets.
