Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi Everyone,
My 60 gallon has been in storage (back room) for a little over 2 years! I'm getting the itch to get it up and running again! I've had it as a freshwater community tank and then had Jack Dempseys for 5 years or so!
I'd like to set it up as a community tank, have a pleco, some neons, things of that nature! I'm just putting it out there to see:
1) what type of pump/filter should I get? I'm going to buy a new one.
2) What fish do you think would be a great mix. I like schooling fish for it to look really nice and entertaining!
My step-daughter did see my aquariums when they were up and running, but only with the JD's, so I know she'll love it, as well as my 3 year old daughter. I think it will be a nice hobby to pass along, as well as proper knowledge.
Also, another question I have would be what would be the best way to cycle my tank? I never specifically did this, so I'd like to start on the right track! Sorry for all the questions, it's been a while!
I look forward to all your comments/suggestions!!!
