Hello fellow fish keepers
I am making a 130 Gallon tank dimensions are
Length 66 inch, height 24 inch, width 20 inch.
( I know the dimensions are odd but that's the space I have and I want a tank there)
And I plan on keeping 10-12 discus in there with a few other smaller fish
But my questions are
1. FILTRATION
I have a tank lying around ( length 36 inch. Height & width 12 inch) which I want to use as a sump
2. What size of sump would you guys recommend?
3. Should I go bare bottom or a thin layer of gravel ?
4. Can I plant amazon swords in plane gravel?
5. Would it hurt of the filter is not running for 22 hours a day (electricity problem where I live)
6. Thickness of glass ? Is 12mm OK?
7. In the sump I am planing to use pot scrubbie and lava rock. Other media is available but is very expensive
