Hi all,
I haven't had an aquarium with fish in it in quite some time! Yesterday I ordered a 65 gallon 24x24x24 (Marineland) rimless tank based totally on it's sexy good looks and threw caution to the wind. I'm a cart before the horse kinda guy
Prior to that I kept and bred Frontosa, fish from Lake Malawi and some awesome Oscars.
I know the most important question is what am I going to keep now and I don't have a solid answer. Initially I want to master plant keeping and have a tank that is alive with bottom, middle and top swimmers. I'm used to pretty anti-social fish so I want to change that up.
Hopefully you guys won't mind if I bother you with a few zillion questions:
I want to keep the plumbing as hidden as possible since you'll be able to see it from all 4 sides, so if I can find an undergravel filter that fits I was thinking I could use that tube to start the filtration process.
For actual filters what do you guys think of the Lifegaurd in-line modular system? I was thinking of using 1 mechanical, chemical, heater and fluidized bed filter.
Heater?
LED lighting for plants and fish. I can hang it from the ceiling.
Fish?
Anything I should use for water treatment, slime, etc? I have to check again buy pH should be 7 and soft.
Thanks!
