55 gallon cleaned and building the stand tomorrow....

[jbeining75]

Well the 55 gallon was scrubed with vinegar and scrub pads... All the lime deposits are gone now. It was filled to dillute the vinegar rescrubed while filled and then emptied... I will make a stand tomorrow out of 4 x 4's and 2 x 4's... The 55 gallon should be up tomorrow and running to start cycling......
The 10 gallon is next on the cleaning list then a stand for it also.... I'll post pics of the 55 gallon up tomorrow.... I will throw some gravel and decors in there to get it started cycling.....

Pretty cool. Whats going in this tank?

[jbeining75]

I was going to plant it and make an amazonian biotope setting.. I am not going to plant it now though as the problems with the landlord. I will plant it in December when I move....

As for stocking:
48 Cardinal Tetra
8 Panda Cories
12 Bolivian Rams

It will be filtered by two 60 gallon hobs....
200 watt heater... fine gravel substrate....

I need to get a 48 inch lightstrip for it though.....

why not move a oscar into it?

I'm getting rid of the firemouth and setting another 55 gallon to move the GT into. I will leave the two Oscars together in their 55 gallon.... When I got this 55 gallon it was under the assumption of the wife that it was her tank.... The Gt will get moved before to long.... They are still only 5 inches each and none of them are aggressive towards tankmates yet..... I am closely monitoring the situation believe me...
