Your list looks pretty good. Be sure to add root tabs in the substrate where you add plants. The anubias and java fern you can glue to the hardscape with super glue or whatever.

What about the Susswasertang? Any info on that? Does it free-float.

Hello,

I have discussed in previous threads that I wanted to have my 4’x2’x18” 90g wide tank red garnet sand and a large piece of driftwood. But I’m rethinking it. The tank is going to have Congo River Basin fish only. This is the stock:

1 or 2 Delhezi Bichir
1 Mokelembembe Bichir
1 Polypterus Polli
1 Polypterus Palmas
Perhaps a Senegal bichir
and a Leopard Ctenopama

So, I’m stuck on the decoration part. I have a tight budge. I wanted to go with 36 grit red garnet sand and a largish piece of driftwood, but I’m rethinking it. Perhaps black sand and a large piece of dark driftwood with 5 or 6 hardy plants like Anubis or java fern. What would you do? What is better for the fish?

similar to what I did, you can drastically change the look based on the lighting, I cover the second half of the tank with a towel to create this effect. I think garnet would look great too
