So here's a little more info on what we're using in that tank and what we plan. It has already cycled. We kept the filter it came with (the fluval) and have had it running since we set it back up.
filter: Fluval 404
substrate: 3M black color quartz T grade
lighting: heck if I know but it came with 2 light strips. Both are power compact, no idea on wattage (I'm so not up to date on that crap but it lights up the gravel well)
Ideas:
We're going to turn this tank brackish, slowly, after we have all the critters and plants in place. This way everyone acclimates together.
1 Dragon Goby
4 bumblebee gobys
4 knight gobys
different types of mollies
plants: Vallisneria gigantea (jungle val), dark red and green versions. Tiger lotus (red), banana plants, water sprite, java ferns and moss, anubias, and dwarf sag for foreground.
We have a black and white oriental theme in mind. If anyone has any links to white oriental aquarium decor, PLEASE hit me with them
