Hey all,
I am new to this forum and wanted to get some advice and suggestions. I was recently given a 150 gallon tank with stand, and a bunch of other dead coral and accessories to get it up and running. (I will try and post pics.) The previous owner had both, salt and freshwater, but I am leaning towards freshwater once I get everything cleaned up and prepared. Does anyone know of any good literature, other than learning from forums, that would be helpful in setting up a healthy aquarium of this size? I am leaning towards a Cichlid tank but will also take some suggestion of what others may have in this size and what works for them. We plan to move within the next year, so I will obviously wait to set it up until then, but would like to start cleaning everything and make an attempt to make everything look like new. I plan to make my own hood with light fixtures, so it matches my stand. I also plan to strip the paint on the stand (in the picture), and stain the wood. I know all of the above really depends on so many circumstances/preferences, but any advice you all can give to a newcomer, would be greatly appreciated.
