Hi All,
I am in the process of re-establishing my tank from scratch. Its a 55G tank. Here is what our vision is -
1. Substrate - White sand
2. Lightning - What light by day, blue light by night + Preferably LED lights
3. Filtration - Have a 55G + 90G pump currently running on an empty tank
4. Fish - Angel fish X 8 + Neon Tetras x 12 + Clown Loaches x 4 + Pleco x 2
5. Décor - 2 Drift woods + a few white stones + 4 or 5 live plants
Below are my questions to get this set up complete and I appreciate your suggestions -
1. Substrate - How many lbs should I use in a 55G tank? What I have looked online, the reference is mainly for salt water sand; is this safe for fresh water if its new and unused? What brand have you used in the past or familiar with?
2. Lightning - Any suggestions on the lightning? Name of lights - retailers
3. Filtration - Is this sufficient of the size and number of fish? I think so.
4. Fish - Is this too many a count?
5. Décor - Any suggestions on live plants?
Thanks for your response.
