im looking to start a 75 gallon breeding tank for flowerhorns what kind of setup is needed


Simple.......Leave the tank bare, this means no gravel or any substrate what so ever........Place a large flowering pot on its side in a place where you find is comfortable.........The pot will be used for the pair to lay their eggs in............A 75g, I ould place two AC101 HOB filters to take care of the mechanical filtration.........They go for $50-75 each.......If this is not in the budget spectrum, try purchase two AC70's............This is enough filtration, but you want more.........So next pay check, purchase a RENA Xp3 for biological filtration.........Get 150-200w heater and set it at 80 degrees.......You should always have a regular(staple) food you feed the horns everday and night..........Use HIKARI Color Enhancing pellets...........Get a bag of frozen krill and throw in some krill evry night........If can, purchase a 10g tank and breed cickets in it.....Feeding crickets with vitamin packed-ready made powder will boost the nutrition level...........
