1st time aquarium owner but experienced with fish somewhat (1000 gal backyard pond)
Was given a 55 gal tank from a family member recently. Today after thorough cleaning we added black eco complete substrate, filter (seachem tidal 75), cobalt accu-therm heater and an LED light. Water treated with Prime then Fritz zyme 7. Only have 2 plants as of today (amazon sword,cardinal). All info and products from a longtime reputable local fishstore owner. Anything else we should be doing besides more plants and decor before adding fish once tank is established?
We also have a friend willing to give us her 2 angel fish to start so being brand new to aquariums any suggestions for srocking to start? Ive researched limited on forums but feeling overwhelmed
TIA!
