Ok, there is a possibility I might be the new owner of an 80 gallon tank/hood/custom oak stand (for $200!! :clap: ) Soooo, being a noob with a beginning case of MTS, help me research and plan please.
I only have a 10 gallon right now, and the possibilities for an 80 overwhelm me LOL! Anyone have stocking ideas that I can research out?
What size/type of filters should I be looking at?
I don't think I can light it well enough to plant much more than java fern/moss type plants so it will probably have fakes.
Heaters...2 200 watt?
Can I get the big bags of lawn and garden type gravel for substrate?
Any other "big tank" tips ya'll can pass along?
Oh, my water is 7.2 pH, and pretty soft, so I'm thinking most African cichlids are out. I'm not sure I want an aggressive tank anyway.
Thanks ya'll
