Hola! I am now to these forums and am glad to be here.
I have a 75 gallon Saltwater Reef tank and a 20 gallon freshwater thank. I realized while I was caring for the reef, I let my freshwater go to ruin. I decided to do an overhaul and clean the heck out of it. 2 50% water changes later and it is looking spiffy. It has a very natural appear to it. All of the rocks have a green almost mossy look (no it isn't algea) and the plants (fake) are all green and yellow. The gravel is corse and different shades of brown. I rearanged the rocks and plants and love the way they all look.
After the neglect all I have left in the tank is a single Silver Hatchetfish that I love to death.
Here are my parameters:
Temp- 78-80
Ph- Around 7.0
Amonia- low
Nitrites- low
Nitrates- a little higher than I would like
Hardness- Hard
So for stocking I was thinking maybe a few more hatchetfish to go with my buddy and possibly some small species of Rainbowfish and a Bristlenose plecko to eat some algae off of the glass. Other than that I do not know. So what do you think would look good/ work well. I just want this to look nice so I am not really looking for something that requires a lot of extra energy.
Oh and I was thinking of maybe adding a few live plants to help lower the Nitrates. Maybe some floating stuff for the hatchets.
