i just got a 35 gallon hex tank and i dont know how to set it up. i havent really seen alot of hex tanks set up so i dont know how i should layer things. i want to create lots of cover in all areas of the tank so that the plants and ornaments are everywhere not just at the bottom. i was thinking about putting 2 shelves at different layers in the tank and siliconing them in so i have different layers to stack the plants on and this would also accommodate all the different levels that some fish like.
i also need to stock this tank and i wasnt sure what is appropriate in a hex tank because it is tall rather than long. what would be a good community tank or even a good species tank? i have 3 other tanks right now so i know what i am doing but i just cant visualize an interesting set up for the tank. it is 31" tall and 18" wide each glass pane is 10" wide. 1 of my tanks is a 20 gal community tank with guppies, platies, mollies, danios, an angel and a red tail shark. the other one is a 10 gal tank with only a black ghost knife in it. 3rd is just a 2 gal betta tank. i am looking for something different than i already have.
any ideas are welcome and pictures are even better thanks a bunch
