The Action Plan

Right, the new tanks almost ready to be cleaned and moved into place.
It's a lovley fifteen UK gallons that's super mega tall (It's 18"H, 18"L, 12"D)

I'm not too sure on using pure bleach, mainly as I don't trust myself with it. was thinking an old alga scrubber dipped in white vinegar, or a vinegar and water solution to get everything off from the inside. I'll probably just use a cloth soaked in anti-bacterial kitchen surface cleany stuff to do the outside of the tank, and make sure nothing gets in. Will the vinegar work all okay or should I try a different way?

Once I've got it into position, (This could take a while, I have to work out how to get electricity to all the four corners of my bedroom without setting fire to anything, or overloading, AND moving my main tank to a different corner) I plan on doing all the aquascaping etc, and setting it up.

I've got some TSS, and I plan on using that with the Cories that should be calling the tank home. I use AquaSafe conditioner, so should I just dose the tank with tha as normal, add the cories, then add the right amount of TSS, would that work all okay?

Finally, I was planning on adding a single angel to the tank, but apparently that really wouldn't worked, I'm upset, but, it's for the fishies own sake. (I will get some, eventually, when I replace my bed with a tank...)

I have had another thread about stocking, but most of the fishies suggested I can't source in dear old Englishland. (Gudgeons, GBR's...)

Anyone any fish to go with Cories? I plan on having three normal ones, or four pgymy's. Anything interesting at all, that's relatively easy for my mum to look after when I'm away.

So, overall, does this sound like a good enough action plan?

And I know it's a sin not to post some nice yummy pictures, but the tanks still in a garage

hanks all

Id be a bit worried with cories and a new tank ...they usually dont deal well and require one thats been established for some time.....with that said, you add your water and dechlorinator..wait 24 hours then add your TSS and fish ....

Okay, I've know discovered that I can get Bolivian Rams, I was told I could get them in a fifteen gall okay, and they're only available for a small while. Oh the descisions.

I did see some nice white skirt tetras or black widow tetras, and my LPS has suddently got a brilliant choice of lovely fishies, I'm spoilt for choice.
