new tank what should I put in it?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
We'll just bought an fx5 off ebay for 209 shipped. All I need is light bulbs and substrate. I think when the fx5 gets here I'm going to start the cycle. I also have 2 AC70's but am thinking of not using them.
 
Going to use quikrete medium sand. Having the hubby get it since its 100lb bags, using 2 and will supplement with root tabs. I'm thinking I'll have the tank running in a few days just no plants for a month or two. I forgot how expensive this hobby is. Dang

I use the same sand. It is beautiful but I hate how fine grain it is. Since you already have fine sand and a decent footprint, have you considered eartheater cichlids? They are great community fish with cories and tetras etc.. And very colorful. Peaceful too ;) with a unique footprint like that this tank is begging for sexy SA cichlids IMO!!!
 
So you hate this sand? I was hoping it was better than play sand, would pool filter sand be better? I have no experience with sand, was hoping the medium was not as fine and easier to use.
