Tank update

I took your guys advice , I added sand that was recommended to me and mopani wood, I currently have no plants in which I will buy soon, what do you guys think? ill have to cycle this tank for few weeks though but so far I actually love this look , I feel more satisfied and I’m glad I got that gravel out and the color decor I just feel relieved . what do you guys think?

I will buy a thermometer and heater as soon as possible since the tank really needs one , feel free to comment (sorry for bubbly tank)

Nice start, the sand looks so fine and soft.
What plants/stock were you thinking for the tank?

I would move the ornament towards the back half of the tank so the front half is open for the fish to swim around in. Make sure you can see all around the ornament so nothing dead can hide behind it.

Bubbles on the glass are normal for new tanks, they should be gone in a few days.

You need a picture on the back of the tank to make the fish feel more secure.

A coverglass or screen on top of the aquarium will stop fish jumping out and reduce evaporation.

I agree with moving it back a bit, and I would personally move it slightly to one side. I don't like things to look too centered in my tanks. But that's just aesthetics. The fish won't care. Looking forward to seeing this tank with some plants!
