Ok so let's start off on how i got to this point. I bought a used tank off kijiji only to realized it had problems with the seals and ended up being a disaster. I still have the glass and got a fluval 205 and stand out of it. So today i went out and bought a 32G kit since i didn't trust used ones anymore. Turns out that one had a very bad silicone layout. My fault though, I should've checked they seals before buying it. So tomorrow i'll be bringing it back and coming home with a new kit(with good seals LOL). Anyways tonight pretty much has been me getting everything ready. I cleaned out the fluval and tightened screws on the stand. Anyways heres what i plan on doing.
Set up:
-Main Decor will be this piece of wood/branch:
-This is the gravel i went with(All clean =]):
-I want a planted tank but nothing heavy. I'm thinking 5 or 6 assorted live plants.
-Running a Fluval 205 AND AquaClear 50
Stock:
-1 Angel (Marble or Black?)
-2 Pineapple Swordtails (Sexes?)
-3 Platies: Blue mickey mouse, red wag, hi-fin (Sexes?)
-3 Mollies: Dalmatian, harlequin sailfin, black (Sexes?)
-* 6 Peppered Corydors (Yes/No) OR Otos (Should I? How Many?)
-ALSO: The guy i bought a used tank from gave me his 4 Serpae Tetras and 3 White Cloud Mountain Minnows that are currently in another tank but will go in the 32G. If these contradict my stock i can sell them or bring them to my LFS.
Whats Left 2 Do:
-Cut plywood to go on the stand.Tank is about 2 inches to wide.
-Change Charcoal in Fluval. I still have the one that the seller gave me so i don't know how old it is.
-Change sponges in fluval. The sponges are hard and crispy. I'm in no rush but by fall i should have all 4 changed.
-Get automatic siphon.
Hope you guys enjoy the ride and i can't wait for it to be done! I love any comments, suggestions and opinions. Any other fish suitable for my tank please tell me! If i like them i might swap another type for them. Thanks!
