Howdy everyone!
I just recently bought a used 100 gallon tank and stand. It came with water heaters, 4 canister filters( two of which are fluval fx5's ), air pumps, cleaning materials, filter pads and media, etc. I want to make it a cichlid tank, any suggestions on what fish to get? Should I use pool sand or black diamond sand blasting sand (I have heard that both of these will not harm the fish)? Can I fill the canister filters with watered down distilled white vinegar to clean them out to get rid of any harmful bacteria that might be in them from the previous owner?
