Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi there! Name is Hunter and I hail from the frigid pacific northwestern region of Montana. Very avid fisherman and now interested in getting my feet wet in the amazing world of aquaria. I have yet to start on my tank but I believe that my mind is set to start with a 37 gallon marineland. The initial set up will include clay based gravel substrate to support some starter plants such as java fern and potentially some lilaeopsis. Also am currently soaking a gorgeous piece of immaculate driftwood for a centerpiece that I might accompany with some java moss at some point.
As far as fish they will be tropical FW. I have a knack for invertebrates such as bamboo and cherry shrimp or potentially a medium sized tangerine lobster. My girlfriend very much wants a cichlid and we're still looking at other potentials including glass cats and friends. Very excited and I'm doing as much research as possible on maximizing the success of my introductions. Looking at hardware like spray bars and undergravel filters w/ lift tubes as well. Not sure if thats healthy for the initial cycle or not but I will bring that up in another thread. Again, glad to be hear!
