need help with starting a planted 36 gallon bow front aquarium

[Tay]

More of a terrarium. I'll probably have an angelfish, some tetras, corys, and hopefully a pleco that wont eat my plants.

how high will you be keeping the water then?

MG is right.... if the tank was specifically bought as a terrarium or lizard habitat even, it wont be safe as a tank that holds a full tank of water. The difference of the two are the glass size and integrity with holding water.

It is a fish aquarium. Previously I got rid of my fish and put my gecko in it instead. Sorry for the confusion. And can someone recommend a online store that sells fish. The closest pets store is about 4 hours from me and i wouldn't trust the quality of their fish.

I still don't know all the plant lingo. What plants do you mean by sags.

Sagitarria species...S. subulata is a good one. Easy and stays fairly short but it depends on the lighting and which species you actually are sold as some do get larger.

It would be nice to know what the intended water level is though, because that would dictate which plants would be better suited. Fish stocking as well, especially if you want to keep angels which require a bit more vertical space than other species.

The tank is 30"long, 20"high, 12"wide at the ends, and 15" wide in the middle. And i thought keeping it full would just be easiest.

I must have misunderstood then...thought you were going to do less than 100%
