Good morning mfk.
This weekend I am getting my first large tank (250litres) to start setting it up and will be getting the fish in 2 weeks
I am going to build a DIY canister like the one by @UaruJoey on YouTube with a 1200-1500 lph pump
The dimensions are 120x45x45 roughly
First.
So how many exodons would be suitable for that tank?
I am thinking 25 as I can't afford loads right now.
Second.
As the tank is next to a glass door (occupies wall next to the tank) I would like to have a means to minimise algae apart from closing half the curtains. Would a UV steriliser, just enough to kill algae it doesn't have to sterilise the water, or would a diy reactor with phosphate removing media work better?
Third.
Would a diet of 50% carnivore pellet, 30% raw angelfish (saltwater one) and 20% purpose made gel food be good for these fish?
Fourth.
Plants? Any good ones for a tank with black sand?
Fifth.
What size breeding &raising tank would be good?
Any input appreciated =)
