hi guys, yesterday i got my new fishtank, its a juwel rio 400, so its 400 uk litres, 87 uk gal (107 us gallons). After 1 hour of struggling to get it to the top floor in my block, then up a further set of stairs to my level i finaly set it up (after i had rested for an hour i was shattered) this thing was so heavy. So now i have to decide what to stock it with. After i have cycled the tank ( im gonna clean the filters of my 2 x 55 gals and put some of the water into my new tank to help mature it quicker and aslo add some type of 'cycle' to it aswell .Do i add my breeding pair of golden sevs and my GT's to the tank (gt's are about 2" and i have 5 of em) or just my sevs or just my gt's with a few other fish. i really dont know what to do, this is the first time i have had a tank of this size. And also, depending on what fish get added, what type of decoration shall i add to the tank?
 
haha i would never brave having a fish tank upstairs...n ot worried about it going through the floor lol i just know there is no way id b able to get it upstairs!
hats off to u lol

i was absolutley shattered. The tank in the boxwas very heavy it was 84kilo and then the stand was 28 kilo so needless to say it took me ages to get it up all of those stairs and i felt physically sick after it, thinks i need to hit the gym and build up my cardio hehe:)
