New Tank Progress

[Lolly123]

Okay,

So spent all day getting my redmoor wood to stay down since overnight the rock came loose and i woke up to it floating, wasn't an easy task with the tank being 2ft and nearly full!

My plants should come in a few days, i havent bought much and im glad because planting when an aquarium is nearly full wont be an easy task, good luck that most of the plants need to be tied on wood/rock anyway. Ive got just over 2wpg but with the tank being 2ft tall..i hope the flourish excel and tpn+ will work well.

As you can see, the tank is still very misty as ive disturbed the gravel but hopefully should clear soon with 2 filters running. Gonna top up the remaining water when its done.

Here it is so far, as for the planst ive ordered; java moss, java fern and some dwarf sag which are on their way, any suggestions as to placement etc feel free to comment, i might need it

Im going to transfer the mature media from my cycled tank directly into the internal when the fish are ready to go in, so in essence yes, it will be fully cycled.

I got to transfer the stock from my mums tank, so there are some danios, loaches, tetras, bolivian rams,to be honest we havent got a lot. I've tried to persuade her find a new home for her 3 clowns, althought this tank is 250L, its just over a metre long and id like to see them in a bigger tank length wise. But she is in love with Colin the big one and wont do it.

Tbh, im really not sure what to add, i want a nice big group of something, i was thinking of some harlequin rasboras, just not sure if ph runs a little too high. I know fish would rather have stable ph rather than fluctuating but might consider some other fish. Any recommendations?
