I want to keep the tank a low light planted tank like my other 55 was. So I ordered some Finnex leds that will be here tomorrow.

Awesome stock!

Great work getting the tank up and running, looks awesome.

I dumped so much established media from my other two 55s I turned the water brown when I added it. Now the fish are in for ammonia source to keep the bacteria alive. I'm testing the water every 8 to 10 hours. Not to worry the fishes health come first.

This is what I do and never had a problem.

I'm loving this Fluval fx6, this thing is a beast! Would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a good canister filter.

My final stock.
9 rainbows,
7 angels,
6 amano shrimp,
5 clown loaches,
5 Cory cats,
2 Geophagus tapajos.
My number are zero across the board and doing water testing every 12 hours and doing water changes overwhelming third day regardless. Filtration is Fluval fx6 and two penguin 350s so I have plenty.

 

[mikem691]

[james77]

Caribsea torpedo beach.
