Hey, I could use a little advice. I currently have a 130 g tank, gravel bottom, that has been operating now for well over a year, housing 5 angelfish. I have since then lost 3 of the five to aggresive disputes. I now have one angel alone in a 40 gallon spare tank, and I have this huge male leopard angel alone in my 130 g. I now would like to turn convert this tank into a rocky, sandy malawi cichlid tank. Now I have a few questions.
I need to know if I should remove this big male, then remove all of my gravel, clean and then put my sand and rocks in, all the while trying to preserve the state of my filter, or should I be best to trash everything and start from scratch?
I currently have one enheim 2217, and plan to buy another. Would this be adiquate? Or any suggestions?
Also wondering about stocking this tank when the time comes. I wonder how many fish to introduce at first, and an idea of how many I should have in total?
I would like to know what sand to use? On a bit of a buget, but I was hoping to use Silica sand or play sand. Any advice would be gr8
Thx a bunch Rick
