What to do with my 190 gallon tank?

[ss720]

Just emptied my tank to install a 3d background.

What would you fill this up with?

What kind of gravel, sand and general aquascaping advice would you provide me with?



Also what kind of fish?

I would do white sand and a similar setup as the first time you set it up.

I would try for a colony of dwarf chiclids with 2-3 different tightly schooling fish species.

What are you looking to do as far as fish? 1 big fish, breeding pair, multiple fish. If you want 1 big aggressive fish go with a dovii.

Thought about dovii, but maybe green terror.

I'd like to go with either a small combination of a few mid size fish or keep one single species of fish, but multiple individuals.

I'm also considering going for a non planted tank.

My tank is 132 gallons and for substrate I have gravel but I changing to sand soon to get plants growing a bit better. I have a a rugged wall built in mine using dressed stone and cut stuck driftwood onto acrylic to make it stand up-right.
This is my stock list;
1 Plec
3 Bristlenose
2 lionheads
1 zebra loach
8 mollys
3 balloon mollys
15 black widdow tetra
5 buenos aires tetra
10 neons
2 glowlight tetra
3 golden barbs
1 cherry barb
1 rainbow shark
4 platys
2 pearl gourami
1 bolivian ram
1 german blue ram
2 kribensis
1 glasscat
5 diamong tetra
2 longfin danios

I think thats all, the odd stocking is because alot of people dump unwanted fish on me leaving me with for example 1 glasscat and a lionhead pair etc. I'm still looking at getting a few barbs and more glasscats etc. Thanks

I like sand in my show tanks. I just hate how you can see every little thing against the white. I did have sand and last weekend I went back to gravel. It's a natural river pebble now. I kept some sand in the tank and mixed it with the pebbles. The sand acts as a filler to prevent food and waste from going down into the gravel.when I vacuum it's just like cleaning sand, just run it over the top of the gravel. You can see in the picture the gravel over sand. Sorry about the fish he wouldn't move

I used pool filter sand mixed with carib sea peace river the larger grained peace river kind of blends in with the poop so you really cant tell its there unless someone disturbs the bottom
