Hi,
I am about to set up a tank and would be greatful of any tips u could give me. The tank is 48"x12"x15" I have an aqua pro 3 external filter 2l ehfemech,and 4l ehfesubstrat. One 300watt heater. I have one 30 watt gro lux tube. I do intend building a new hood with plenty of refelctors.
I have bought some ceramic half log caves and a ceramic root. To begin with i intend to use some plastic plants with a mix of some real ones, will discard the plastic when (if) the real ones take hold.
My tap water tests shows PH 7.2 GH 120 ppm KH 70 ppm
I would like to keep appistogramma cactuoides 1m 3f and a pair of bolivian rams. Would this be ok ?
I intended starting the fishless cycle of this tank tonight had all the playsand washed and ready to go in, then done a bit of reading on the forums and decided to go with pool filter sand , so will be starting next weekend.
Any tips on plants for my conditions would be much appreciated.
