I was thinking earlier and thought about rehauling my FW aquarium because ever since setting up my 90g reef tank my poor freshwater community aquarium doesn't really have that "hey come look a me appeal" that my reef has. I really don't don't want to get rid of it so I want to make it better so I can have the best of both worlds in my house. I decided to post here because I want to see what you guys think and to give me some ideas for this project. I was thinking of making planted but I really don't want to go very high tech with CO2 injections and all that stuff. I also would like to change my stocking a bit and get rid of some fish add others. Edit: I also want to do this partly because I have to almost empty the tank to move it since its close to a window where we put our AC during the summer.
here's info about my tank;
~44g Pentagon corner tank
~Two hang on back filters an AC 70 and Biowheel 250, I kinda want to get rid of one and get a canister filter but their price is a turn off, if anyone knows where to get some cheaper ones appropriate for my tank feel free to tell me.
~The tank is lightly planted with some stock fixtures for lighting but I would like to get a better fixture, again feel free to recommend some to me.
Stocking: *WARNING This is a mess :/ but they all get along
~Six Angelfish, they all get along since I never got a pair but I would like to get rid of two or three but it's hard considering I like all of them :(
~One male GBR and looking for a female for him.
~One yoyo loach maybe get rid of him or give him friends.
~One sterbi corycat, I know I need to add more of him I tried but they died for no reason :/ I've had this fish for like 3 yrs by himself.
~One Betta fish, I got this fish thanks to my little brother who wante and kept it in a bowl for a few weeks until I decided it wasn't nice and added him to my tank. I honestly don't him anymore, sorry little brother.
~Four Cardinal tetras, one of which I've had for more than 3yrs, it looks so old.
I think, I've covered most of the important parts and here's a picture to give you all an idea of how the tank looks like.
