I just purchased a used 27 gal hex tank with all the filtration, heater, lights and pumps for cheap off craigslist. Now that I have it I have no idea how to set it up???
I was thinking either a wannabie saltwater with Malawi Cichlids, pool filter sand and some plants? This is a weird tank to set up since it's taller than wide. I don't want to setup and have to redo it a few months down the road. I have some pretty coral I was thinking about using with those bright yellow and blue Malawi Cichlids but I fear high tank maintenance b/c of cleaners will get picked on? What do I do for a low maitenance hex tank w/ the bright blue and yellow Malawi labs? Tanx in advance for your advice is greatly appreciated, oh I'm in Chicago were the ph is perfectly neutral, and I have already 2 auqascaped species tanks but miss the activity of Malawi Cichlids....:help:
