Back After 2Yrs Rescape Advice Please

[Johng89]

Ok folks I have maintained my 60l jewel for my girls in there bedroom and as they are a bit older I have decided a I want to rescape the tank and add sand and rocks as the substrate with a few live plants .
Ive decided im going to move the tank to my living room and have a few questions for you all
 
The tank still has the internal filter - keep or remove ? its one of the hideous black boxes in the corner
 
If I remove whats the ideal turnover for an external filter on a 60l tank any suggestions for the filter accepted
 
whats the best plants to add with a minimum of upkeep
 
tank will have cory, tetras and Gourami
 
when i go for it i will take pics and post up for all to see

Do a journal in the planted section mate, external filter you want something over 600lph, plant wise how about Anubias, Mosses, Microsorum and some small Echinodorus species, maybe even some chain swords for foreground? All low maintenance and slow growing.
