Hello
I am currently setting up a new 120 gallon tank at my office in the hospital. So far I have two 75 gal HOB filters, and 2 undergravel filters (1140's I think?)
Using two 60 gal heaters as well.
I filled the tank and treated for chlorine, and got the water up to 80 degrees. Placed my plants and lots of large river stones in the tank.
I put a couple of gold fish in there for now to help cycle the tank. is this right?
How will I know when I can put in my cichlids?
I plan on putting in 10 cichlids, 1 large pleco and maybe a couple other fish? any suggestions for tankmates?
I am not sure about the species, but the dealer I am getting them from has them all in the same tank and they are doing fine. (bright yellow ones, bright orange ones, blue ones, some electric blue ones and some white (albino?) ones....)
I will post pictures very soon. I appreciate any input thank you!
