    Hi everyone

    Recently decided to convert my 220liter saltwater tank to a tropical/aquascaping tank. Cleaned out the aquarium decently with vinegar as well. Think I should just run it with clean water for a while to make sure everything is clean.

    Love the new aquascaping hobby. Definately going to try this artform in my tank. Hoping for some great advice from all of you as I see that it could be quite complicated to use all the right soils before starting to plant.

    Anyway, speak soon, have a great day!:thumbup:

    Hi @Sannette Sloane and welcome to TASA!

    Looking forward to following the journey of your tank!

    What kind of aquascaping style floats your boat? There’s such a lot one can do, do you have an idea in mind already, or looking at options?

    Hi @Sannette Sloane and welcome to TASA.
    You need lots of plants and lots of guppies, and we need lots of pictures.
    Joking aside, we enjoy seeing tanks progression from a bare empty tank, to the final product.
