Hey All,
I am currently on my third week of cycling my tank with Nitrates coming down. I wanted to start a cichlid tank because of thier color and look so I used crush coral as substrate but now as I am reading different threads I am wondering if I bit off more than I can chew. My tank is a 30gal which may mean it is too small. So now that my cycling may soon come to an end, I may be stuck with just crush coral and limited live stock. If you all think that maybe it would be better if it was a bigger tank then what can I put in the current tank with the crush coral. Angels? Discus? i am a little bummed out because i was hoping I would be able to keep quite a few cichlid fish. Help if you can. Thanks. :(
