New Tank

[looby loo]

I have a new 150L up and running I have my Fluval 2 from my other tank running and another Fluval 2 (both with filter media from mature tanks )running with it while i wait for my new Fluval 4 to arrive. Is this enough untill it comes? It is stocked with 2 Black Angels,2 Honey Gourami,5 Lemmon Tetra,11 Neon Tetra, 2 Shrimp, 2 Apple Snails, 6 Corys, BN Pleco and 3 small sucking cat fish Octo some thing or other. I used 1/2 the water out of the other tank when swapping them over. It has a mixture of live and fake plants and is a very tall tank , I need a fast growing tall plant, any ideas?

Just checked and the Fluval 2 is rated for aquariums up to 90 litres so two of them should be fine for 150 litres for now. The only thing I would be careful of is the turbulence -- two filters creates more than one if they are at opposite ends of the tank. I am not an expert but I believe gouramis prefer slower flowing water so you might want to consider this when placing the filters in the tank.

Sounds like it should be alright, but those neons will become food sooner or later as Angelfish eat neon tetras in the wild as part of their natural diet.

There are many fast growing tall plants, notably all the stemplants such as Hygrophile diformis and Rotala rotundifolia (easy growers) or even easier Vallisneria.
