Hi guys,
I've just gained myself a brand new 57g (Juwel Vision 260). I have some fish in my 10g which i'd like to transfer but i have some questions and also some things i'd like to get your opinions on, oh oracles of freshwater aquatics...
I'd like to go for a sand-like substrate (black hopefully) but what kind of vac would i need for this? I ask because i was wondering, would the gravel vac not just suck out all of the sand?
Second thing, when i've done a fishless cycle in the past i've always used fish food to start off the ammonia. I intent to add a mssive load of media from my 10g to help with this cycle but would adding the food as apposed to some kind of prawn be ok?
Also i'd like to get some impressive lighting for the tank, any ideas as to what i could get?
And here's the fun bit. As i said in the beginning, i already have some fish to go in the tank. They are as follows:
2 x Platy
4 x Columbian Blue Fin Tetra
1 x Fan Tailed Guppy
4x Zebra/Leopard Danio
What would you add?
