Hi,


Only started fish keeping this year so go easy please.


Anyways,we have a Jewel Trigon 180 ltr tank that has been fishless cycled for 5 months now without any real problems so far. The subtrate is medium gravel,we dont have any wood as such,just a type of imitation rock structure that can be moved around as desired and is made up of 5 individual pieces,and the obligatory plastic plants. The fish we keep are the run of the mill Community type and the tank is a clean one but does have a NO3 reading of around 60ppm due to the tap water being high. I now want to try planting or attaching some basic stuff to give the Tank a 'real feel' so to speak, and have been advised that this is the place for all the info I need.


Any help or advice would be welcome.


Over to you.



John

It's a 190 not a 180

Have a look HERE for a few ideas.

Interesting stuff.

Some nice Tanks and good ideas on display there,still not 100% sure which plants to start with,and/or how many, so will pick the brains on here first before deciding.

Have a look in the PARC resourse centre in this forum. It's a sticky at the top. The plants i listed in your other topic will all be good starters, so have a quick read up on them.
