Hello all.
I'm new to the hobby.
I'm currently in a Fishless cycle (day9)
Tank size (120x30x30cm or 48x12x12 for those in the colonies )
I'm in northern England (UK) with water parameters of
PH 6.8 to 7.2
Hardness 2.3 Clarke (vSoft)
Very low metals, alu, iron, etc.
In not adverse to looking after a few plants but I simply don't like the look.
I'd go for a multi tank but altering the water and going species only feels limiting.
My water appears to suit SAmerican, but blackwater or heavy planted isn't my thing.
Any ideas or recommendations would be greatly welcome.
I have a very fine gravel (not quite sand) substrate.
No decoration yet.
1000l/h canister. Coarse medium fine, then 2kg of biohome ultimate. Purigen in a drawer for if/when it's needed.
Stocking ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Initial thoughts from me
Pygmy Cory's, apisto pair, tetra school.
I'm very open to suggestions
