Restarting my tank.

Started Cleaning my tank this morning at around 10am and finished up 4:30pm

Here are some before and after pics,i'll update as i go along.

The empty tank pics are current,the full one is past.

 

So what is the plan ... planted or not ?

 

@f-fish

Only lightly,some rocks with java moss and anubias tied to it,Vallis at the back and a big piece of Spinderwood with Christmas moss a bit off center of the tank.

I'm putting in some playsand tommorow and then going to pick up some weird rounded flat rocks,after that i'm going to petcity.One of my canister's primer is stuck so i have to get that fixed.Lucky for the long gaurantee.

I'm not really a big fan of vallis because i want the back open but i don't know any other plant that grows near the surface,need some to make hatchet fish more comfortable.

 

Small update,some play sand cleaned and added.Going to buy a few more bags tomorrow.

 

Looking nice with the play sand. When you adding your hardscape? And have you decided what fish your going to use?

Still have to buy it,i found some round flattish slate rock at a gardening place.Will probably pick up some spiderwood from Petstop when i get the chance.

Fish are going to be:3x Geophagus surinamensis,10x Corydoras sterbai,2x Crossocheilus siamensis,10x Celestichthys margaritaus and 1x Synodontis euptera.

The back and sides are going to be rockwork,java moss and Anubias while the middle is going to have a big piece of spiderwood with Christmas moss.

Hey man that is cool, you know that the 3 x surinamensis and the synodontis will eventually be to big they will probably chow your corries and your danios.

Why dont you rather go with smaller species then you can have more of them.

 

Thing is,every time someone stocks Surinamensis they stock corries with them.It's rather peaceful when it gets bigger.

I'm more worried about the Synodontis harassing the Surinamensis,i'll have a spare 100L tank in case one of them acts up.

 

Well I would not get him then if it was me. Good luck.

 

Guess i will leave him out for the time being.

 

Why put your fish at risk dude, rather get a few zebra loaches they are awesome.

 

Yeah but i don't want too many bottom dwelling fish,if i do get them then i don't know how many i would be able to add.

The Surinamensis and corries are both bottom dwelling.

 

I know they are bottom dwelling fish. In your size tank you will be able to keep about 5 of them. Corries take a long time to grow and I would rather keep 3 x SAE they do better in bigger groups.

 

Okay so 3x SAE.I'm still undecided if i want loaches,not exactly my cup of tea but they are interesting.So many things to choose from

 

Yeah 3 of them will be better, it is your choice dude yeah that is true.
