Hey everyone!

I recently moved across the country and had to tear down all my tanks and start over! All my tanks finally cycled and I just finished setting them all up so I want opinions on how I stocked them (what breeds I mixed, the number of each breed etc) the plants I used (If they are right for the tank setup), type of substrate used and the equipment used (Filter, heater etc)

Your tanks look great and I understand about messing with them. I’m about a hair away from totally redoing my 54’ hard and plant scape!

Messing with them is part of the fun...
